The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jay Shah has finally spoken up about the possibility of the Indian cricket team visiting Pakistan for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to take place in Pakistan from February to March, however, India’s participation in the tournament is uncertain as the BCCI seeks the government’s approval to visit the country.
In a recent interview with an Indian news outlet, Jay Shah was questioned about the possibility of India visiting Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025.
He stated that no decision has been finalized and emphasized that the BCCI would evaluate the situation and make the call at the appropriate time.
He mentioned that a final decision has not been made yet and stressed that the BCCI will assess the situation and make a decision at the right time.

“No stand as of now. We will cross the bridge when it comes,” Jay Shah stated.
Remember, reports emerged in Indian media, citing a source from the BCCI, that the Indian team will not be visiting Pakistan for the upcoming ICC event.
Further reports claimed that the board has formally proposed Dubai and Sri Lanka as potential venues for hosting India’s matches.
Previously, India refused to travel to Pakistan to participate in the ACC Men’s Asia Cup 2023. As a result, the continental event was held in a hybrid model with Sri Lanka stepping in as a co-host.
It is worth noting that India has not travelled to Pakistan since the Asia Cup in 2008 due to the long-standing political tensions between the two neighbouring countries.
