The ICC Champions Trophy 2025's scheduling has sparked criticism as Australia and South Africa face unnecessary travel ahead of the semi-finals. While India remains in Dubai for all matches, Australia and South Africa will fly to Dubai on Saturday but may return to Pakistan just a day later. The Group A runner-up faces the Group B winner, meaning one team will have to relocate twice before the knockout stage. Players, including Rassie van der Dussen and Pat Cummins, have criticized India’s venue advantage. The final semi-final match-ups will be confirmed after India's clash with New Zealand on Sunday.
