The Champions Trophy 2025 is making headlines because Pakistan is set to host the tournament, but it's unclear whether India will participate. Due to ongoing political tensions, India and Pakistan haven't played a bilateral series since 2013. In 2023, India also refused to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, leading to Sri Lanka co-hosting the event instead. For the Champions Trophy, Pakistan has rejected a hybrid hosting model, adding to the uncertainty.
Recently, Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, was appointed as the new chairman of the ICC. His new role might influence the situation regarding the Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has suggested that the resolution now depends on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Modi has been invited to a two-day meeting in Pakistan in October, which might impact the decision.
