After weeks of delays, the
schedule for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, to be held in Pakistan and neutral country of UAE, is out. The tournament will get underway on February 19 with Pakistan hosting New Zealand.
India's matches will be held in Dubai after it was confirmed last week that they will not be playing in Pakistan. The Indian board had already made clear that
they would not travel to Pakistan due to security concerns.
As a result, India, who are in Group A, will play their first game of the tournament against Bangladesh on February 20. The marquee clash against Pakistan will take place on February 23. India's third and final group game will be against New Zealand on March 2.
