The Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to be played in Pakistan which last hosted an ICC tournament in 1996, but as always, there are doubts whether India will travel to Pakistan or not.

Last year, Asia Cup which was initially scheduled to be held completely in Pakistan was shifted to hybrid model with India not ready to travel to Pakistan. However, this time, PCB seems adamant about hosting the whole tournament and has proposed that all India matches be held in only one venue to avoid any travelling and security issues.

Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi are likely to be three venues for the marquee event and if India does travel to Pakistan, they will play at one of these venues.

However, it is highly unlikely that India will travel to Pakistan given the long history of conflicts between the two nations, and it would be interesting to see how things unfold this time around.

Pakistan won the previous edition of Champions Trophy back in 2017 by defeating India in the final and with change in guard in coaching staff recently, they would be hoping to grab another ICC trophy after the disappointment of 2023 World Cup.
