If India qualifies for ICC Champions Trophy Final 2025, the venue will likely be shifted to…

Sri Lanka which finished in 9th place in the 2023 ICC World Cup has an outside chance given that the Indian Cricket Team decided to pull out of the tournament in the last moment.

New Delhi: After much debate and deliberation around the entire issue of the ICC Champions Trophy, a partial resolution has finally come out whether team India will travel to Pakistan or not. So far, team India has not confirmed their plans regarding the Champions Trophy.


However, even if Team India decides to play in the ICC Champions Trophy, reports from the Telegraph reveal that the Final will take place in Dubai if Team India qualifies for the Final. Furthermore, the report claims that India can play all of their games in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) if they decide to not travel to Pakistan.

However, in the past few weeks, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has shown confidence that the tournament will take place in Pakistan in its entirety.

The Indian team should come. I don’t see them cancelling or postponing coming here, and we are confident we will host all the teams in the Champions Trophy in Pakistan…
