ICC Announces 2025 Men’s Champions Trophy Tour To Begin In Islamabad
The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the 2025 Men’s Champions Trophy tour will start in Islamabad on Saturday. The trophy will also be displayed in the city’s famous landmarks like Daman-e-Koh, Faisal Mosque, and the Pakistan Monument, with legendary speedster Shoaib Akhtar marking his presence.
The trophy tour is a promotional event before every major ICC event, but it ran into a huge controversy after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Thursday that places like Skardu, Murree, Hunza and Muzaffarabad – three of which come under Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) – would be on the trophy tour list.
Following strong objection by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday, only Murree has been retained in the trophy tour itinerary announced by the ICC, with places like Taxila, Khanpur, Abbottabad, Nathia Gali and Karachi on the list for the Pakistan edition of the trip till November 25.
