Champions Trophy : There are reports that all the matches of the Indian team participating in the upcoming Champions Trophy in Pakistan are planned to be held at the same stadium.
The Champions Trophy is going to be held in Pakistan this time after 17 years. The teams ranked in the top 8 of the ICC rankings will participate in this series. The last time this series was held was in 2017. In that series, Pakistan defeated India by 180 runs to win the trophy.
After that, ICC (International Cricket Council) announced that the Champions Trophy series will no longer be held and only one international series will be held in each edition, i.e. one international series in T20, one international series in 50 overs and only one international series will be held in each edition. . After that, it was announced that the Champions Trophy will be held in 2021 and again in 2025.
As a result, it was reported that next year in 2025, this Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan. However, the schedule for the series is yet to be announced but it is expected to take place in February next year. The Pakistan Cricket Board has planned to hold the two-week series in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi in Pakistan.
Also, will the Indian cricket team go to Pakistan? It is still undecided. Similarly, recently when the Asia Cup series was held in Pakistan, when the Indian team announced that they would not play in Pakistan, they held only the matches of the Indian team in Sri Lanka.
As a result, there is a question whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan in this Champions Trophy series held in Pakistan, reports are coming out that the Pakistan Cricket Board is planning to hold the matches played by the Indian team only at the Lahore stadium considering the safety of the Indian team.
Also, since Lahore is close to India, it will be an additional security for the Indian cricket team and it will be easy for the fans to watch the match. However, will the Indian team cooperate and go to Pakistan? We have to wait and see till the official information is released.
