Indian team will go to Pakistan to play Champions Trophy 2025! The report has come out

Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy 2025. All the teams will go to Pakistan for the tournament, just like all the teams came to India for the recently played T20 World Cup 2023. Some time ago it was revealed in media reports that the Indian team will not go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. But now another report has come out which says that the Indian team will play all the Champions Trophy matches in Lahore, Pakistan.

India’s match will be played in Lahore

According to the report, Pakistan Cricket Board has kept all the matches of Team India to be held in Lahore in the schedule prepared for the Champions Trophy. The report further states that the PCB chose Lahore for the Indian team’s matches due to its proximity to the Wagah Border (the border between India and Pakistan). Apart from this, it was also said that the final of the tournament will be played in Lahore only.

Let us tell you that the Pakistan Board is looking at the window between February 2025 to host the tournament. Pakistan has selected three cities for the entire tournament, which include Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi.

Indian team did not go to Pakistan for Asia Cup

Pakistan was also to host the Asia Cup in 2023, but Team India did not go to Pakistan for the tournament. The Indian team played Asia Cup matches in Sri Lanka under the hybrid model. In such a situation, this solution can be tried once again.

Last time Team India went to Pakistan in 2008

Let us tell you that the Indian cricket team last toured Pakistan in 2008. Team India did this tour for the Asia Cup. Since then there has been no such occasion when the Indian cricket team has toured Pakistan. Due to gradually increasing political tension, the bilateral series between the teams of the two countries also came to a halt. No bilateral series has been played between the two teams for a long time.
