The tournament will mark its return to the sport after eight years. Defending Champions Pakistan will host the tournament, while UAE will be the co-host. Pakistan was supposed to host all the matches but the Indian team refused to travel to Pakistan for the tournament citing security reasons. The situation led to a compromise and it was agreed that the UAE would host all the India fixtures.
In the hybrid model, if India progresses to the final, the match will be played in Dubai. However, if India fails to enter the final, the fixture will be played in Pakistan.
The Champions Trophy will be held between March 19 to February 9, 2025. The excitement around the event has increased with the release of the anthem. The fans will be eagerly waiting for the Indo-Pakistan clash while Pakistan will be up against New Zealand in Karachi.
