ICC Champions Trophy 2025 schedule: The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is just three days away as the mini World Cup returns after a hiatus of eight years. Pakistan, who won the Champions Trophy last time beating India in the final in 2017, is the hosts of this year's event. However, India will be playing all their games in Dubai as the BCCI refused to send the team in Pakistan due to security concerns.

Afghanistan are making their debut in Champions Trophy 2025 while Sri Lanka and West Indies are the notable absentees among big names. Baring Pakistan and Bangladesh, the rest of six teams were hit by injuries with Australia suffering the most.

Notably, Pakistan is hosting an ICC event for the first time in 30 years. For the unknown, unlike all other ICC events, Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having an pre-tournament captain's press-conference due to tight schedules of few of the teams.

South Africa and New Zealand were the first teams to reach Pakistan, since they played a Tri-Nation series with the hosts. India and Bangladesh have already reached Dubai while Afghanistan have also set their camp in Pakistan. Australia and England are yet to travel to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025.
