India May Withdraw From ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan

The Indian cricket team is likely to withdraw from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan due to security concerns. The BCCI has proposed a hybrid model with matches in Dubai or Sri Lanka, but if the PCB insists on hosting all matches in Pakistan, India may pull out. In that case, Sri Lanka will replace India in the tournament. This decision comes amid strained relations between the two countries and India's reluctance to play in Pakistan since the Asia Cup in 2008. The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be the first major international cricket tournament hosted solely by Pakistan.
