ICC announced the Champions Trophy schedule for its upcoming iteration as India will be opening their campaign with a clash against Bangladesh on February 20th. The all-important battle between arch-rivals, India and Pakistan will be played three days later in Dubai on February 23rd.

England are Australia's first Champions Trophy opponents in Pakistan in February but Pat Cummins' team could end up playing the final in Dubai.

The schedule for ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has been unveiled, with the marquee tournament set to be jointly hosted by Pakistan and Dubai. However, due to political issues, Rohit Sharma-led India will play its matches in Dubai under a hybrid model (neutral venue), as they will not be traveling to Pakistan.
