Indian cricket team Captain Rohit Sharma is likely to travel to Pakistan ahead of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy 2025.
According to Indian media reports, Rohit Sharma’s 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 Rohit 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.
