India's cricket team will not travel to Pakistan for the 2025 Champions Trophy, citing security concerns. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) of its decision, requesting to play all matches in Dubai instead. This comes despite recent talks between Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar, sparking speculation of a possible India-Pakistan series. The BCCI's stance prioritizes player safety, amid ongoing tensions between the two nations. The International Cricket Council (ICC) will likely consider India's request.
