ICC shared the schedule, the tournament will start on February 19 and the final will be played on March 9

The Champions Trophy 2025, which will be held in Pakistan, has released its tentative schedule. The competition will begin on February 19 and conclude on March 9 of the following year. The ICC Champions Trophy's final season took place in 2017. India and Pakistan, bitter rivals, squared off in the season's final game at The Oval in England. Pakistan defeated India to win the 2017 Champions Trophy.

Cricket fans around the world, including those in India and Pakistan, are very excited about the ICC Champions Trophy's return in 2025. The tournament's potential dates have now also been made public. According to a report by Cricbuzz, the first match of the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played on February 19 and the title match will be played on March 9. The 8 best teams in the world will participate in this mega-event.

According to Cricbuzz, the possible timing of the Champions Trophy has been revealed by several ICC sources. This ICC mega event is to be completed in a period of 20 days. However, the days of the matches of the 20-day program have not been finalized yet. The ICC has shared the schedule with the member boards to finalize it so that their domestic leagues do not clash with its dates.

There is still doubt about India playing in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to be hosted by Pakistan. Due to political tensions, if it is played on a hybrid model like the Asia Cup, then the Indian team can participate in it. On the other hand, if this tournament is played in Pakistan, then a decision on whether the Indian team will participate or not can be taken in the coming few months.
