India captain Rohit Sharma is likely to travel to Pakistan on a short trip ahead of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, starting next month. Following their Border-Gavaskar Trophy debacle in Australia, the Indian team has got a break of three weeks before they once again get on road with the white-ball series against England, followed by Champions Trophy in Pakistan and Dubai.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in hybrid format with Pakistan being their hosts. Dubai will host India’s matches, including the knockouts, provided Rohit’s men qualify. With Pakistan hosting an ICC event for the first time in 30 years, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is planning a grand opening ceremony, around February 16-17
Hosting a opening ceremony, along with a captains’ press-conference is a standard practice for ICC events. “Indian Team captain will visit Pakistan to attend the opening ceremony of the Champions Trophy as PCB plans grand event, marking the return of a mega international cricket event to Pakistan after 29 years,” news agency IANS quoted a source as saying. The ICC Champions Trophy is making a return after a eight-year hiatus. Pakistan are defending champions.
