The International Cricket Council (ICC) has expressed its satisfaction with Pakistan’s preparations for hosting the Champions Trophy 2025, following a detailed inspection of facilities and security arrangements. On October 22, 2024, ICC officials concluded their tour of various cricket venues across Pakistan, affirming that the country is on track to deliver a successful tournament.
With the Champions Trophy set to take place in less than a year, Pakistan’s cricket infrastructure has undergone major upgrades, including renovations to stadiums in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. The ICC team, in coordination with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), reviewed safety protocols, logistical arrangements, and the overall readiness of the venues.
ICC spokespersons lauded Pakistan’s efforts to ensure that the event would meet international standards and highlighted the enthusiastic response of Pakistani fans. Hosting the Champions Trophy is a significant achievement for Pakistan, given its prior exclusion from hosting major tournaments due to security concerns. The success of recent bilateral series has renewed confidence in Pakistan’s ability to stage international events.
As the countdown to the Champions Trophy begins, cricket fans in Pakistan are eagerly anticipating the return of top-tier international cricket, which is expected to boost the country’s sports tourism and economy.
