The Pakistan Cricket Board, or PCB, recently addressed the rumours that the Champions Trophy 2025 will be rescheduled in a report that they released. The board rejected these allegations and stated that they are unnecessarily stirring up controversy.
It is noteworthy that Pakistan will host the Champions Trophy in February and March of 2025. Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the PCB, recently took centre stage and discussed moving a few domestic matches to make stadium building easier.
The possibility of a rescheduled event caused fans to become concerned. Nonetheless, the PCB has stated unequivocally that the competition’s timetable would not be altered.

“The PCB Chair also mentioned that while some domestic matches may need to be shifted to facilitate uninterrupted construction work, this in no way pertains to the ICC Champions Trophy, which remains a priority for the PCB as a premier eight-team international event,” the statement further stated.
