Champions Trophy 2025: Recently, the T20 World Cup 2024 was played under the hosting of West Indies and America. In which Team India won the trophy by defeating South Africa in the final. After the T20 World Cup, now the discussion about the Champions Trophy 2025 has intensified.

Because, the Champions Trophy is to be played in Pakistan. Due to which Team India cannot go to play the Champions Trophy. However, there is a lot of uproar about the hosting of the Champions Trophy. Meanwhile, Team India may get a big shock before the Champions Trophy.

Team India may be out

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has given the hosting rights of Champions Trophy 2025 to Pakistan. Due to which doubts are being raised on Team India's playing in it.

Because, according to media reports, India will not go to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy. Due to which the Indian team can get a big shock. This is because, if Team India withdraws its name from the Champions Trophy, then Sri Lanka can be included in place of Team India.

If India refuses to play in Pakistan, the group in 2025 Champions Trophy will be:

– Pakistan
– New Zealand
– Bangladesh
– Sri Lanka*

Let us tell you that the ICC has not yet announced the schedule of the Champions Trophy 2025. But according to media reports, this tournament can start from February 19. A total of 8 teams will participate in the Champions Trophy. Which will be divided into 2 groups. According to sources, India, Pakistan, New Zealand and Bangladesh can be placed in Group A.

But if Team India does not participate in the Champions Trophy 2025, then Sri Lanka can be included in the group in place of India. Due to which Group A can have Pakistan, New Zealand, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka teams.

Pakistan wants to host at any cost

Let us tell you that the last ICC tournament was played in Pakistan in 1996. After which the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has now got the opportunity to organize an ICC tournament after 27 years. Due to which Pakistan wants to organize the Champions Trophy in Pakistan at any cost.

But according to media reports, Pakistan may get a big shock if India does not go and the Champions Trophy can be held on a hybrid model. Due to which Team India can also be seen playing in this tournament.
