The International Cricket Council (ICC) has cancelled the Champions Trophy trophy, 2025 tour in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following objections from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The PCB had planned to take the trophy to Skardu, Hunza, and Muzaffarabad, but the ICC has put a stop to those plans. Reacting to the development, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has raised strong objection with the ICC on PCB’s plans to promote the Champions Trophy in the country.
The PCB announced on Thursday the schedule for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 trophy tour, which was initially set to commence on November 16 in Islamabad.
“Get ready, Pakistan! The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 trophy tour kicks off in Islamabad on 16 November, also visiting scenic travel destinations like Skardu, Murree, Hunza and Muzaffarabad. Catch a glimpse of the trophy which Sarfaraz Ahmed lifted in 2017 at The Oval, from 16-24 November,” PCB had posted on X, on Thursday.

After the tweet from PCB a source told that “Jay Shah has objected to that tweet and has criticised and condemned PCB’s plan to take the trophy to PoK cities.
It is understood that the ICC is yet to formalise the plan for the trophy tour but PCB seemed to have jumped the gun by announcing the schedule. Even though the ICC is yet to announce the final schedule of the Champions Trophy, the trophy arrived in Pakistan on Thursday for a tour of the country beginning November 16.
The trophy has arrived at a time when the ICC has sought a response from the PCB on hosting the prestigious event in a hybrid model following India’s refusal to travel to the country for the tournament.
