The Indian men’s cricket team will play its ICC Champions Trophy 2025 matches in Dubai. According to a report by AFP on December 22, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) selected Dubai as a neutral venue for the tournament. A PCB official confirmed that the decision has been officially communicated to the ICC, meaning India’s matches will take place in Dubai.
This decision comes after the ICC announced that all of India’s matches in the eight-team event would be held outside Pakistan.
As part of a broader agreement, Pakistan will also play at neutral venues in any tournaments hosted by India until 2027. This arrangement was made after prolonged discussions between the two countries.
The 2025 Champions Trophy will feature eight teams: India, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, England, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. The tournament is expected to take place from February 19 to March 9 next year.
