ICC Considering Venue Options for Champions Trophy 2025
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is currently considering three options for organizing the Champions Trophy next year. As per the schedule, the tournament is to be held in Pakistan. Even though Pakistan has the right to organize the tournament, the ICC is still looking for other options. ICC is making special plans regarding the venue of the Champions Trophy 2025!
According to sources, the ICC is also thinking about a hybrid model in which matches are played jointly in Pakistan and UAE. In such a situation, all the matches of India and the knockout matches will be held in the UAE. Apart from this, another option is being discussed, in which the entire tournament is being talked about outside Pakistan.

Potential Venues for Champions Trophy 2025
At present, UAE, Sri Lanka, and South Africa are being seen as potential venues. Pakistan, which was the co-host of the 1996 ODI World Cup, has not hosted any ICC tournament since then. Pakistan was made the co-host of the 2011 ODI World Cup, but due to the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in 2008, this opportunity slipped out of their hands. India has never sent its team on a tour to Pakistan since 2008.
