Champions Trophy: PCB suggests Lahore as Team India's home base

The Pakistan Cricket Board proposed Lahore as India's home base for the ICC Champions Trophy to ensure top security measures for the neighbors. Due to security concerns, India declined to participate in Pakistan during the Asia Cup last year; as a result, their matches were rescheduled to Sri Lanka. The ICC 50-over tournament is scheduled to take place in Pakistan on February 19-March 9 of the next year.
