In a significant development, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has informed the International Cricket Council (ICC) that the Indian cricket team will not travel to Pakistan to participate in the 2025 Champions Trophy . This decision comes after the Indian government advised the BCCI against sending the team to Pakistan .
According to ESPNcricinfo, the BCCI has communicated to the ICC regarding their participation in the upcoming Champions Trophy in Pakistan. The report states that the BCCI has told the ICC that it will not travel to Pakistan for the marquee ODI tournament.
The Champions Trophy is scheduled to take place in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9, 2025, and was expected to feature eight teams competing at three venues in the country. However, with India’s withdrawal now looking inevitable, the ICC and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will need to activate a contingency plan to ensure the tournament goes ahead smoothly.
