Champions Trophy: India Eye Strong Start
The Champions Trophy 2025, co-hosted by Pakistan and the UAE, will see India begin their campaign against Bangladesh on February 20 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Originally planned to be held entirely in Pakistan, the tournament was split between Pakistan and the UAE due to India’s decision not to travel to Pakistan.
Led by Rohit Sharma, the team will look to make a strong impression in the tournament, with the England series serving as a key stepping stone. The Men in Blue are determined to maintain their form and iron out their plans as they aim for another ICC title.
