Champions Trophy: Will Team India captain Rohit Sharma travel to Pakistan?

Pakistan is hosting the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. However, India will play all their matches in Dubai due to the bitter bilateral relationships between the arch-rivals.

ICC’s pre-tournament activities for the 2025 Champions Trophy include a press conference and an official photo shoot that is set to occur in Lahore.

However, there is a question mark whether Team India captain Rohit Sharma will travel to Pakistan to take part in the press conference and official photo shoot or not.

As per sources, final decision on whether the ICC will hold these events in Pakistan or move them to the UAE is still pending.

Moreover, reflecting about Rohit’s participation in those events, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Devajit Saikia has voiced uncertainty.
