The eagerly awaited showdown between Pakistan and India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled for March 1st in Lahore, as reported by Indian media citing an ICC Board member.

This match, a major event for cricket enthusiasts globally, will take place at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Notably, all of India’s matches are set to be played at this venue.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has already presented the Champions Trophy schedule to the International Cricket Council (ICC). However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not yet given its approval.

An ICC Board member stated, "The PCB has submitted the draft of the 15-match ICC Champions Trophy. Seven games will be held in Lahore, three in Karachi, and five in Rawalpindi."

According to the proposed schedule, Group A includes Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand, while Group B features England, South Africa, Australia, and Afghanistan.

All participating nations have conveyed their support for the Champions Trophy to the ICC. The BCCI will finalize its position on the tournament following consultations with the Indian government.

The proposed dates for the Champions Trophy are from February 19th to March 9th, with March 10th designated as a reserve day.

Last month, the PCB sent the schedule for next year’s Champions Trophy to the ICC for final approval. The tournament will be hosted across Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi.

Lahore will host seven matches, including the final. Karachi's National Stadium is set to host the opening match and one of the semi-finals, totaling three matches. Rawalpindi will host five games, including the other semi-final.
