ICC chair Greg Barclay is confident that the Champions Trophy 2025 will go ahead as planned in Pakistan. The PCB was awarded hosting rights for the tournament last week, which will be the first time the country will be host to an ICC event since the 1996 ODI World Cup in the subcontinent.

The Indian government has raised doubts over India’s participation in Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan, saying that it will monitor the security situation in the country at the time and will take a call accordingly. It will be the first ICC tournament hosted by Pakistan since the 1996 World Cup.

Sandeep Patil has stated that he understood Dinesh Karthik’s potential long back and that’s why also picked him for the 2004 Champions Trophy team despite MS Dhoni’s good performance with the India A team. He has also added that he wants to see MS Dhoni in the 2019 World Cup team.

The International Cricket Council has indicated that unless the Indian government offer a tax deduction, India may not be able to host the 2021 ICC Champions Trophy. The ICC has also stated that before the start of the tournament they are working to explore possible alternatives to host the event.
