Champions Trophy 2025: There are about 100 days left for the Champions Trophy 2025, but the situation is still not clear whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan or not. Champions Trophy 2025 is to be held in Pakistan. This tournament will be played between 19 February and 9 March next year in three major cities Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi. Therefore, Pakistan Cricket Board and Pakistani fans are very excited about this tournament. But a news that came a day ago has shaken the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Actually, ESPNcricinfo has made a big disclosure in one of its news that the Indian Cricket Board has made it clear to the supreme body of cricket ICC that the Indian cricket team will not go to Pakistan. BCCI took this decision after the advice of the Government of India, which said that Team India should avoid going to Pakistan. There has been an uproar in Pakistan after this news came out.
If not India then who?
Now the question arises whether PCB and BCCI will agree on the hybrid model or the Indian team will boycott the tournament completely. If the Indian team does not participate in the Champions Trophy, then which team can play in this tournament. Let us know the answer to the question…
8 teams will participate in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The teams have qualified for the tournament by finishing in the top-8 in the points table of the 2023 World Cup held in India last year. According to this, hosts Pakistan, Australia, India, New Zealand, South Africa, England, Afghanistan and Bangladesh have to play in this tournament.
If India refuses to play in the Champions Trophy, then the ninth ranked team will get a chance to play in the Champions Trophy. The Sri Lankan team finished ninth in the 2023 World Cup points table. According to this, if India boycotts the tournament then Sri Lanka's fortunes will shine. But its possibility is still less because no decision has been taken on this issue.
