By IANS News December 24, 2024 • 19:12 PM View: 772

The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) unveiled the eagerly anticipated schedule for the Champions Trophy 2025 on Tuesday, marking a significant moment for global cricket. With the tournament set to be played in a hybrid format, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi expressed his pride and optimism over Pakistan’s role as a host.

This marks a historic moment for Pakistan, which last hosted a major ICC event during the 1996 World Cup.

The Champions Trophy 2025, featuring eight teams, will begin on February 19 with the opening match between hosts Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi. The event will culminate with the final on March 9, set to be held in Lahore unless India qualifies, in which case it will shift to Dubai.
