The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sparked controversy by including Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 trophy tour. The announcement came after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed India's refusal to travel to Pakistan due to security concerns and strained relations. The PCB's tour will visit locations in PoK, including Skardu and Muzaffarabad, further escalating tensions. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has yet to resolve the issue, with discussions on a hybrid model or venue change underway. India has declined permission for its team to participate in Pakistan-hosted events.
