Reasons Why India Should or Should Not Travel To Pakistan For Champions Trophy 2025

The Indian government's decision not to send the men in blue to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 is primarily based on the current state of diplomatic relations between the two nations.

Despite assurances regarding security from the Pakistan Cricket Board, the Indian govt and BCCI are skeptical.

Another reason why India shouldn't travel to Pakistan is that the Indian fans might not travel there to support Rohit Sharma and company.

Former PCB chairman Khalid Mahmood thinks if India doesn't travel to Pakistan, countries like Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh might also back out.

If India sticks to their decision of not travelling to Pakistan, there might be retaliation from  Pakistan.

Pakistani pacer Hasan Ali made a strong remark saying, "If India doesn’t want to come, we’ll play without them."

If such instance takes place, it might negatively impact India on the global stage as they are to host important tournaments in the coming years.
