Pakistan Agrees To Host India's Champions Trophy Fixture In UAE
Trophy To Be Played In February 2025
Decision Reached After Several Rounds Of Discussion
After several rounds of discussion and negotiation, Pakistan has agreed to host India's Champions Trophy matches in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in February 2025.
The decision was made after the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) intervened and facilitated talks between the two cricket boards.
The Champions Trophy is a prestigious international cricket tournament that is played every four years.
India is the defending champion, having won the tournament in 2017.
Pakistan was originally scheduled to host the 2023 Champions Trophy, but the tournament was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was then decided that the tournament would be held in the UAE in 2025.
However, India refused to travel to Pakistan for the tournament due to security concerns.
The ACC then intervened and facilitated talks between the two cricket boards.
After several rounds of discussion, it was agreed that Pakistan would host India's matches in the UAE.
The rest of the tournament will be played in Pakistan.
The decision is a significant development in relations between India and Pakistan.
It is hoped that the tournament will help to improve cricketing ties between the two countries.
