ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Pakistan: Venues, Schedule & Teams

After the wait ofeight years, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will start in just about a month. This time, Pakistan will host the tournament. The tournament will be held at four venues: three in Pakistan and one in Dubai(for India's games only). This article will discuss the venues of the upcoming Champions Trophy.
The four venues are the result of the tussle between BCCI and PCB,or, moreover, the, Indian Government and Pakistan. In a note to the ICC, BCCI refused to travel to Pakistan, citing security reasons. This created a big roadblock in the Champions Trophy Schedule, but the issue was finally resolved when India, Pakistan, and the the ICC agreed to host both teams' matches atat a neutral venue in the upcoming ICC events.
