Indian cricket team Captain Rohit Sharma may travel to Pakistan ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
According to Indian media reports, the visit would be for a pre-tournament photoshoot and a joint press conference featuring the captains of all participating teams. This event, organised under ICC rules, traditionally takes place in the host country, which for 2025 is Pakistan.
A final decision on Sharma’s participation in the event is yet to be made, with considerations underway. Indian media noted, “If this visit materialises, it will be a joyous moment for cricket fans in both nations.”
The Champions Trophy is scheduled to begin on February 19 with a match between Pakistan and New Zealand. India’s first game is slated for February 20 in Dubai, where they will face Bangladesh.
Sharma’s potential visit would mark a significant moment in the sporting relations between the two countries, which have been limited due to political tensions.
