Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team created history by winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title last month. Now the next mission of Team India is the Champions Trophy 2025. But a problem seems to be getting stuck regarding this tournament.

This Champions Trophy 2025 is to be hosted by Pakistan. While the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Jay Shah has already said that the Indian team will not go on Pakistan tour. But amidst all this, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is engaged in its preparations with full dedication.

Pakistan has also prepared the schedule of the Champions Trophy. Along with this, this schedule has been sent to the International Cricket Council (ICC) and its member countries for approval. It will be released after getting the green signal from everywhere. But even before that this schedule has gone viral. But in the meantime, the question coming in everyone's mind is whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan or not. So let's know whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 or not?

Will India team be going to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025?

• According to a report published by Sports Tak on July 6, Team India will not travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy, which will run from February 19 to March 9.
• "Though the details of the tournament have not been discussed yet, it is highly unlikely that the Indian team will travel to Pakistan. Ultimately, the decision lies with the Indian government. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) plans to raise the issue at the upcoming ICC meeting in Sri Lanka this month," Sports Tak quoted a source as saying.
• He said, "The government's decision on the matter will be final, as we have not yet confirmed it internally. Since it is an ICC event, we do not have the authority to take any unilateral decision. However, more details may emerge during the next ICC meeting." Since 2008, India have not travelled to Pakistan and have met only once for a bilateral series in 2012-13. Although India were scheduled to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup in 2023, the tournament took place in hybrid mode, with India's matches, including the final, played in Sri Lanka.
