It has been declared that bringing the Indian team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy is ICC responsibility. As the host, PCB has submitted the schedule and format, which will be presented to the participating countries for discussion and finalization by the council. All matches involving the Blue Shirts are scheduled to be held in Lahore, and if they reach the final, the visiting team will also play at Gaddafi Stadium. On the other hand, the ICC-approved budget for the Champions Trophy includes contingency expenses, aiming to hold matches at another location if the Indian team does not come to Pakistan.

According to details, the Champions Trophy is to be held on Pakistani soil next year, but as always, India is not confirming sending its team. The BCCI is showing reluctance. Recently, ICC meetings were held in Colombo, but the Champions Trophy was not mentioned in the statements, due to no discussion on the event's schedule and format.

 PCB has declared it ICC responsibility whether India comes to Pakistan or not. As the host, Pakistan has submitted the schedule and format for the Champions Trophy. It is now up to the council to present it to the member countries for discussion and finalize it. In the proposed schedule, all matches involving the Blue Shirts are scheduled to be held in Lahore. If they reach the final, the Blue Shirts will also play at Gaddafi Stadium.

Sources confirmed that PCB has already informed ICC in writing about all financial details, including revenue payments. On the other hand, ICC is waiting for confirmation from BCCI on the Indian cricket team's decision to visit Pakistan.

 A few days ago, Indian media claimed that the Blue Shirts' matches in the event would be moved to another venue, either Sri Lanka or UAE, but there has been no progress on this matter.

Pakistan Cricket Board officials are confident that all participating teams will be in action at Pakistani venues during the Asia Cup next year. Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi stadiums are being upgraded at significant expense, with the work expected to be completed by the end of this year.
