The Indian government has denied the Indian cricket team permission to travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, according to the reports.

The next year's ICC Champions Trophy is in jeopardy with India not likely to travel to the neighbouring country.

While the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is trying its best to bring the Indian team for the tournament, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it clear that they will require the permission of the Indian government to send the team to Pakistan.

In a video on his YouTube channel, sports journalist Vimal Kumar confirmed through his sources that India won't be travelling to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 until Pakistan does not stop cross-border terrorism from their side. Kumar added that Pakistan will have to provide India with the assurance that there will be zero cross-border activities from Pakistan.

"BCCI doesn't have a stand on this. BCCI's stand is the Indian government's stand. The Indian government's stand is clear. India won't visit Pakistan till they do not stop the cross-border terrorism."

"If Pakistan wants India to visit their country, their media should pressurize their government and give an assurance to India that there will be no cross-border terrorism from Pakistan's side," Vimal Kumar said in the video.

Vimal Kumar later concluded by saying, "As of now, India is not going to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy."
