ICC Champions Trophy 2025 fixtures announced

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the schedule for the 2025 Champions Trophy, set to take place from 19 February to 9 March in Pakistan and Dubai.

India will face Pakistan in a highly anticipated clash on 23 February in Dubai, with their other group matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand also hosted in the UAE due to ongoing political tensions.

Group A features Pakistan, India, New Zealand, and Bangladesh, while Group B includes England, Australia, South Africa, and Afghanistan.

The tournament opener will see Pakistan face New Zealand in Karachi, with the final set for Lahore on 9 March unless India qualifies, in which case it will be moved to Dubai.

This marks the first global cricket event hosted in Pakistan since 1996, with arrangements for neutral venues agreed for India-Pakistan fixtures.
