ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Pakistan: Pakistan is going to host the Champions Trophy 2025 next year, but India has so far maintained silence on going to Pakistan. Let us tell you that the 2023 Asia Cup was also hosted by Pakistan, but Team India’s matches were held in Sri Lanka. Now there is still doubt whether Team India will cross the border for the Champions Trophy or not. But Pakistan’s veteran cricketer Wasim Akram has expressed hope that India will definitely come to Pakistan to participate in the tournament.
Wasim Akram expressed hope of India coming to Pakistan and said, “I am hoping that the Indian team comes to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy. Our entire country is excited to host all the other teams and they will be given a grand welcome.” Akram also told that Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has started efforts for the improvement of the grounds. Work has also been started on stadiums in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. He hopes that this is going to be a great tournament.
