ICC gives thumbs up to Pakistan’s preparations for Champions Trophy 2025

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has expressed satisfaction with the preparations for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to take place in Pakistan in the February- March window, however, India’s participation in the tournament is uncertain as the BCCI seeks the government’s approval to visit the country.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), presented a comprehensive progress report on the renovations and infrastructure upgrades of the three selected stadiums during a recent ICC meeting in Dubai.

Taking the opportunity, Naqvi urged the ICC members to make an official visit to Pakistan to personally review the renovations and arrangements, which could help build confidence around hosting a successful event.

The ongoing upgradation work is aimed to ensure the venues meet international standards for the tournament. The National Bank Stadium in Karachi and Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore are undergoing renovation work, with similar upgrades planned for the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

A five-member ICC delegation recently visited Pakistan to review arrangements for the tournament. The delegation assessed the three stadiums, inspected training facilities, and met with hotel management teams to discuss accommodation and other facilities for the teams.
