Will Team India Tour Pakistan?
Will Team India Tour Pakistan? The India versus Pakistan clash is always one of the most hyped encounters in the history of any sport. The stakes are set even higher as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan from February 19 to March 9.
With the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) having already sent the draft schedule to the International Cricket Council (ICC), they have earmarked the date for the high-voltage India versus Pakistan clash on March 1, 2025, at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. However, the biggest question remains: Will India tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025, given the ongoing political tensions between the two neighboring nations?
The political relationship between India and Pakistan has always influenced their cricketing ties. Historically, bilateral series have often been disrupted due to diplomatic strains. Although ICC events have managed to bring the two teams face-to-face, the prospect of India touring Pakistan for a multi-nation tournament like the Champions Trophy adds an extra layer of complexity.
