Report: PCB Suggests India To Play Champions Trophy In Pakistan admin, May 1, 2024 The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to host the 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy in three cities: Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Lahore, with the final match taking place in Lahore. The ICC general manager Wasim Khan recently visited Lahore to discuss tournament arrangements with PCB officials, and it was suggested that the Indian team’s travel itinerary be kept to a minimum. According to a PCB source, India could potentially play its initial qualifying round games in Karachi before moving on to the venues for the knockout rounds. Due to their cricket engagements being limited to ICC tournaments, the Indian cricket team has not played in Pakistan since 2008. Last year, the Indian cricket board did not send the national team for the Asia Cup, which ended up being held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka in a hybrid model. The source also mentioned that stadium renovation work will begin soon, and the tournament is expected to take place in February-March 2025. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)
