On one hand, Pakistan is ready to host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, on the other hand, there is a danger of Pakistan losing the hosting of Champions Trophy 2025. This is the reason why Team India will not go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. In fact, due to poor relations between the two countries, the Indian cricket team has not toured Pakistan for many years nor has there been any bilateral series between the two teams. Teams from India and Pakistan face each other only in major ICC tournaments. The last time these two teams met was in the ODI World Cup 2023. Now once again these two teams will clash during the T20 World Cup 2024.
