The International Cricket Council (ICC) revised its Champions Trophy trophy tour schedule after objections from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). BCCI Secretary Jay Shah opposed including Muzaffarabad, Skardu, and Hunza Valley, located in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK). The trophy tour will now begin in Islamabad, with stops in prominent Pakistani cities like Karachi and Abbottabad before visiting Afghanistan, Bangladesh, South Africa, and other countries. Meanwhile, the 2025 Champions Trophy faces uncertainty due to India’s refusal to play in Pakistan, citing security and political issues, as cricketing ties between the two nations remain strained.
