Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma may be visiting Pakistan soon, ahead of the much-awaited ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This visit, as per Indian media reports, is likely to be a pre-tournament photoshoot and a joint press conference with the other team captains. The International Cricket Council (ICC) traditionally organizes this event in the host country, which, in 2025, will be Pakistan.
The event will bring together the captains of all participating teams. If Rohit Sharma does make this visit, it will surely be a special moment for cricket fans in both India and Pakistan, as such a visit holds great significance for cricket relations between the two countries.
Although the plans are not finalized yet, the media in India have mentioned that discussions are still underway regarding the visit. This event will take place just before the start of the Champions Trophy, where teams from around the world will compete.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will kick off on February 19 with a match between Pakistan and New Zealand. India, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, will begin their campaign on February 20 in Dubai, where they will face Bangladesh.
In other news, India has faced a setback as their key fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, may not be available for the Champions Trophy 2025. Reports suggest that he is likely to miss the tournament’s league stage due to a back injury, which he suffered during the Sydney Test against Australia.
As a result of this injury, Bumrah has also been ruled out of India’s T20I series against England. This is a big blow to India, as Bumrah is one of their top bowlers, and his absence will be felt throughout the tournament.
As the Champions Trophy approaches, both teams—India and Pakistan—will be working hard to finalize their squads and prepare for the big event. Fans from both countries are eagerly awaiting the tournament, and the possibility of Rohit Sharma’s visit to Pakistan adds extra excitement to the already thrilling competition.
