ICC Delegation Yet to Address Concerns About Champions Trophy Relocation From Pakistan: Report

There's a lot of news saying the 2025 Champions Trophy might not take place in Pakistan anymore. It appears that the stadiums there such as Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium, and Karachi's National Bank Stadium were supposed to have the games, aren't getting repaired in time.

Since work on these stadiums is lagging, people are starting to worry if they'll even be ready for the tournament. Additionally, India's team decided they do not wish to travel to Pakistan for the tournament, so their games are going to be in Dubai International Cricket Stadium instead.

In Pakistan, they started repairing Stadium's for Champions Trophy last August and had the sincere intention to finish by December 31, but they have not finished yet. If they can't sorted out by February 12, the entire event might be shifted to the UAE.

Pakistan is dealing with a lot today but there's some good news coming. A report from India Today mentioned that the International Cricket Council (ICC) is keeping an eye on three stadiums in Pakistan. So far, the ICC haven't had any problems with these places.

Some people are spreading false news about Pakistan on social media to ruin its reputation but we understand who the people are and why they are doing it, a PCB official told IANS. "People shouldn't be worry of these news. By the first week of February, we'll have everything ready for the stadiums. Pakistan is set to make the Champions Trophy a major success. We promise to put in all our effort".

On Wednesday, the PCB said that they're switching the location for the ODI tri-series with South Africa and New Zealand from Multan to Karachi and Lahore. They decided to do this because the stadiums in Lahore and Karachi, Gaddafi Stadium and National Stadium, were more prepared. In addition, these places are going to have six out of the 12 games in the Champions Trophy group stage.

For the first time since 1996, when Pakistan co-hosted the ODI World Cup, the country is set to host an ICC tournament again.
