Who is hosting the Champions Trophy in 2025?

Pakistan has bagged the hosting rights for prestigious Champions Trophy 2025.  This is a historic moment as Pakistan has secured the opportunity to host the ICC Champions Trophy for the very first time. This event will now serve as a benchmark for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in organizing future tournaments. If this tournament is successfully executed, it will bode well for the PCB in attracting more international events in the future. However, any shortcomings, especially in terms of security, could make it extremely difficult for Pakistan to host such prestigious tournaments in the years to come. To capitalize on this opportunity, the PCB needs to attract the best teams and inspire enthusiasm among teams from other cricketing communities by showcasing Pakistan’s world-class hospitality and its rich cultural heritage.
