Champions Trophy 2025 : Preparations are in full swing for the ICC Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan next year, but the future of this event is still uncertain due to discussions of Team India not coming to Pakistan. No tournament can be complete or successful without India's participation, so this is a very worrying time for the Pakistan Cricket Board ( PCB ) and the ICC. Meanwhile, the BCCI secretary has stated the Champions Trophy in an interview. Which will make Pakistan even more unhappy.

India has not toured Pakistan since the Asia Cup in 2008 and given the poor political relations between the two countries, the chances of the team touring Pakistan today seem slim to none. Also, security is a big concern in Pakistan, which is a big reason for BCCI 's stance of not playing in Pakistan.

Jai Shah gave an update regarding the Champions Trophy

BCCI secretary Jay Shah gave a major update on India's participation in the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Jay Shah said the board has not taken any stand on India's participation in the ICC Champions Trophy, adding that they will evaluate the situation at the 'appropriate time'. The delay in BCCI's clear stand on India's participation could land Pakistan in trouble. "There is no decision yet. When the time comes, we will cross the line," he told The Times of India.

Sri Lanka benefits from India being out

If India refuses to play the Champions Trophy in Pakistan and the PCB sticks to its stance, both the PCB and the ICC will suffer huge losses. If India pulls out, Sri Lanka may replace India in the tournament.
