There will be no captains’ photoshoot or conference in Pakistan before the ICC Champions Trophy, a source in the host cricket board told on Thursday, ending the possibility of India skipper travelling to the country for any pre-tournament engagements.

Netflix stokes enthusiasm for the long-awaited India vs. Pakistan ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match. The film sets out to offer fans seldom-seen inside information and unheard stories from cricketing greats through an exclusive behind-the-camera view of one of the most heated cricket rivalries ever.

India will be playing their Champions Trophy matches in Dubai as part of a hybrid model deal between the ICC, PCB and BCCI and if they qualify for the final, then the title clash would also be held in the UAE city on March 9.

Though ICC ensured to keep a day reserve for the captains’ joint photo shoot, PCB reportedly cancelled the event citing the ‘unavailability of teams due to tight traveling schedules’.
