ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Schedule: The International Cricket Council (ICC) can announce the schedule of the 2025 Champions Trophy today. The schedule of this global tournament has been awaited for the last many days. Let us tell you that the 2025 Champions Trophy will start from 19 February 2025, while the final match of the tournament will be played on 9 March.
Let us tell you that Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy. Pakistan had sent the draft schedule of this tournament to ICC about three months ago. Pakistan had scheduled the match against India in Lahore, but India had refused to send Team India to Pakistan citing security reasons. After this there was a long conflict between BCCI and PCB.
India had offered a hybrid model for the Champions Trophy, but Pakistan initially rejected it. However, a few days ago the PCB approved the hybrid model with some conditions. The biggest demand in this was for India to come for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
After the agreement between BCCI and PCB, it was decided that the 2025 Champions Trophy matches will be played in Pakistan and Dubai under the hybrid model. Team India’s matches in the tournament will be held in Dubai. Pakistan will host 10 matches of the Champions Trophy. If the Indian team reaches the semi-finals and finals, then its knockout matches will also be played in Dubai. If Team India gets eliminated before the knockout stage, then the semi-finals and final will be held in Lahore and Rawalpindi.
Since then everyone is waiting for the complete schedule. Today this wait is expected to end. By the way, let us tell you that for the last several days it is being claimed in media reports that the schedule will be announced today, but ICC did not do so. Now it remains to be seen whether ICC announces the schedule today or not.
