Pakistan is set to host the much-anticipated Champions Trophy in February and March next year. However, BCCI has refused to send their team to Pakistan. Both countries have not played any bilateral matches since 2012-13 outside of major tournaments, and the Indian team has not visited Pakistan since 2008 due to political tensions.
Pakistan travelled to India for the 2023 ODI World Cup but BCCI is not ready to send the Indian team to Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
