The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to take place in Pakistan during February and March of next year. But the major question that has been keeping many engaged is whether the India National Cricket Team will be traveling to Pakistan for the tournament or not.

India National Cricket Team reportedly has refused to travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

India National Cricket Team reportedly have refused to travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy. There have been reports which claimed that the Indian government hasn't given clearance to the Board of Control for Cricket in India to send a team to the neighboring nation.

The reports claimed that BCCI has explained the entire situation to the International Cricket Council and has formally written to them that they won't be able to travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has seen rise to the talks of the tournaments being played in the Hybrid model.

As per the reports, it is learned that the ICC Champions Trophy will be played in the Hybrid model, and all the India games will be played in Dubai or Sri Lanka. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board, on the other hand, has denied all the talks.

Pakistan to withdraw from playing against India in any international event

But with India denying to visit for the Champions Trophy, it is learned that Pakistan is prepared to withdraw from playing against India in any international event until the Men in Blue visit them.

Not only this, they are set to take some more actions.

Pakistan will act as a massive hurdle in India's bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games

As per the reports, Pakistan will act as a massive hurdle in India's bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games. It is learned that the Pakistani government has planned to formally communicate to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that India has 'politicized sporting competitions.'

Coming to the Olympic bid, India recently sent a letter of intent to host the 2036 Olympic and Paralympics games to the Future Hosts Commission (FHC) of the IOC. This move comes after India's intention to host the mega event was made public by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the 141st IOC Session held in Mumbai last year.

However, if the Pakistani government intends to spoil their party, it will be a massive blow to India as well as their government. It remains to be seen what will be the impact of the Indian not traveling to Champions Trophy 2025 on the sporting ties between the two nations.
