The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Schedule is out after a long-term controversy about the venue. India refused to travel to Pakistan due to safety concerns, nationality, and safety concerns.
In reply, Pakistan initially said that if India didn’t come, they would include other teams and play without them. However, the Media of the cricketing world said that they would back out if India did not play because most of the revenue the Media gets is from India.
ICC decided that the ICC Champions Trophy will run in hybrid mode, and all the Indian matches will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The first match will be between the defending champions Pakistan against New Zealand at Karachi on February 19, 2025.
