The ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 Trophy Tour has concluded its New Zealand leg, leaving cricket enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the commencement of the tournament's ninth edition, set to take place in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates from February 19 to March 9. According to a release from ICC, during its journey across New Zealand, the trophy visited iconic destinations in Hamilton and Auckland, bringing fans closer to the event and offering unique opportunities to engage with the prized silverware.
Continuing their unbeaten streak, the Indian women's team notched a commanding victory over Malaysia to enter the quarterfinals of the Kho Kho World Cup in New Delhi on Thursday. Starting with a spectacular 'Dream Run' by defenders Bhilar Opinaben and Monika, India showcased their prowess across all four turns, ultimately securing an emphatic 80-point win. The victory, marked by multiple 'Dream Runs' and tactical brilliance, cemented India's position atop Group A with a massive score difference, setting up a quarterfinal clash with Bangladesh.
The opening ceremony of the Champions Trophy will be held either on February 16 or 17 and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is confident that India captain Rohit Sharma will be in attendance at the event. The PCB source also said that it is awaiting communication from the ICC on the schedule of the customary captains' photo-shoot and the pre-event press conference. The eight-team tournament will get underway on February 19 in Karachi. However, India will play all their matches in Dubai, starting with the clash against Bangladesh on February 20, after refusing to travel to Pakistan owing to security concerns.
The PCB has earmarked the starting prices for Champions Trophy tickets at PKR 1000 which is as cheap as Rs 310 in Indian currency, as per an internal document of the cricket board in possession of PTI. The document, however, does not include suggested ticket prices for the matches in Dubai chosen as a neutral venue to host India's matches and perhaps even a semi-final and final if Rohit Sharma's men qualified for these knockout games. The list in possession of PTI revealed that PCB has kept the lowest priced ticket for the General Enclosure at 1000 Pakistani rupees for all matches in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.
The Indian cricket team, under coach Gautam Gambhir, is in a rebuilding phase, especially in the T20I format. After the 2024 T20 World Cup, three veterans Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja retired from the format. Currently, the team is being led by Suryakumar Yadav and with the next T20 World Cup happening next year, the search is on for a perfect combination. Needless to say, there are a lot of young blood in the side.
Although India will play its Champions Trophy matches at a neutral venue, the team captain is expected to visit the host nation Pakistan to attend the opening ceremony of the prestigious event, which is making a return after an eight-year hiatus, sources said. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is planning a grand opening ceremony of the Champions Trophy, tentatively scheduled for February 16 or 17, subject warm-up match itinerary. All team captains are to take part in the opening ceremony, which is a standard practice for ICC events.
