Champions Trophy 2025: Champions Trophy 2025 is going to be held in Pakistan and Dubai. Pakistan is the host country, while the Indian team will play their matches in Dubai under the hybrid model. Pakistan Cricket Board is in strong preparation to make this event a success. There are now only three weeks left for the Champions Trophy 2025, but the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is facing challenges in preparing the stadiums in Lahore and Karachi. Meanwhile, PCB has taken a big decision and canceled the opening ceremony. Also, there will be no press conference and official photoshoot of the captains to be held before the tournament.
Why PCB canceled programs?
According to Pakistani media, PCB decided to cancel the opening ceremony and other programs because the teams of Australia and England will not be able to reach Pakistan on time. Australia’s team is currently busy with the Test series against Sri Lanka. At the same time, England team is playing T20 and ODI series in India.
