According to reports, the schedule for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is set to be announced in October. The tournament will take place in Pakistan next February-March.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is expected to send a delegation to Pakistan in the coming days to review preparations for the event. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been actively working on ensuring everything is in place for the tournament.
Following the ICC’s assessment visit, the schedule for the Champions Trophy 2025 will be revealed. The PCB has already released a draft schedule, which is likely to be finalized soon.
It is also reported that the schedule and ticket details are anticipated to be announced shortly, with the budget for the tournament already allocated.
Recently, Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed that the tournament will be hosted in Pakistan and revealed ongoing discussions with BCCI Secretary Jay Shah regarding the participation of the Indian team.
Reports suggest that India may not travel to Pakistan for the tournament and would require government clearance due to ongoing political tensions. The two nations currently do not play bilateral series.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held from February 19 to March 9 across three Pakistani venues: Lahore (seven matches), Rawalpindi (five matches), and Karachi (three matches).
The draft schedule indicates India will play all their games in Lahore, with their match against Pakistan scheduled for March 1 at Gaddafi Stadium. This will be the first Champions Trophy since 2017, with Pakistan aiming to defend their title at home.
