Champions Trophy 2025: India unlikely to travel to Pakistan; tournament to be held in hybrid mode

The Indian cricket team is unlikely to travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will request hybrid matches in Dubai or Sri Lanka. Pakistan has not hosted a major ICC event since 1996, and this marks the first time the Asian nation will do so. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has scheduled the match for March 1, but the BCCI has not given its consent.
