Champions Trophy 2025: BCCI pressure convinced Pakistan

India's matches in the Champions Trophy 2025 to be held in UAE

Bowing to pressure from BCCI, Pakistan has agreed to host India's matches in the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The decision came after the BCCI threatened to boycott the tournament if Pakistan insisted on hosting India's matches in their own country due to security concerns.

The Champions Trophy is a major international cricket tournament that is held every four years. The 2025 edition is scheduled to be held in Pakistan from September 12th to October 1st.

The BCCI's decision to boycott the tournament would have been a major blow to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which is already facing financial difficulties.

The PCB had initially resisted the BCCI's demands, but eventually agreed to host India's matches in the UAE in order to save the tournament.

The UAE is a popular venue for international cricket matches, and has hosted many major tournaments in recent years, including the IPL and the PSL.

The decision to move India's matches to the UAE is likely to be welcomed by the Indian team, which has a strong record in the country.

India has won the Champions Trophy twice, in 2002 and 2013.

The BCCI's decision to boycott the tournament would have also been a major blow to the ICC, which is the governing body for international cricket.

The ICC would have lost a significant amount of revenue if the BCCI had pulled out of the tournament.

The decision to move India's matches to the UAE is a major victory for the BCCI, which has been under pressure from the Indian government to ensure the safety of its players.

It is also a sign of the growing influence of the BCCI in world cricket.
