Plans for next year’s Champions Trophy are in chaos after India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the tournament and subsequent reports that the hosts are threatening to pull out of the event altogether if it is moved to another country.

Earlier this publication reported that BCCI, in a recent communication to the Pakistan Cricket Board, has cited security concerns behind its decision and expressed a desire to play that India play all

The Pakistan Cricket Board has sought clarification from the sport's governing International Cricket Council (ICC) following India's refusal to travel across the border for next year's Champions Trophy,

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)’s decision that the Indian cricket team wouldn’t be travelling to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 hasn’t gone down well with the hosts Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) As per reports,

If the ICC decides to move Champions Trophy 2025 out of India or postpone the tournament then the PCB will lose $65 million or nearly Rs 550 crore.

The 2025 Champions Trophy is at the center of controversy. Set to be hosted by Pakistan in February-March, the tournament's future in the country is uncertain after BCCI declined to send the Indian team to Pakistan.

Currently, neither Pakistan nor India are taking a step back from their current stance, meaning no compromise is yet to be reached on the tournament's location. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is determined to play the entire tournament in its own backyard providing India flexibility of Lahore as their venue (geographically closer to India).

Pakistan's bid to host the 2025 Champions Trophy faces challenges as BCCI won't send the Indian team. The ICC favors a hybrid model, but failure to comply could lead to the tournament being moved to South Africa.
