The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the revised schedule for the 2025 Champions Trophy tour, excluding Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) cities. The decision follows strong objections from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding the inclusion of disputed territories.

Pakistan are the defending champions, having won the previous edition of the ICC Champions Trophy in England and Wales in 2017. The change in itinerary has come after Pakistan wanted to take the trophy for a tour to PoK.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has initially planned a tour of Champions Trophy in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) cities but after strong objections from BCCI the schedule has been changed.

ICC announced a revised schedule for Champions Trophy's trophy tour on Saturday, November 16. India Today has learnt that the changes were made after objection from BCCI honourary secretary Jay Shah.

A dramatic twist in the lead-up to the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy has left the tournament's trophy tour in limbo because of BCCI.

Pakistan have decided against taking the Champions Trophy on tour across PoK regions, but said that the plan was approved by the ICC and they did not decide anything unilaterally, a media report claimed.

“BCCI secretary Shah has objected to the PCB’s idea to hold a Champions Trophy tour in PoK. The BCCI has no problem if the tour is conducted in any other city of Pakistan or even in a stadium outside PoK or in a mall. But they cannot hold it in PoK,” a BCCI official was quoted as saying by IE.
