IND vs PAK: India-Pakistan will clash not only in Champions Trophy 2025 but also in these tournaments next year
IND vs PAK: Cricket fans are always desperate for the India and Pakistan match. This is the reason why fans are eagerly waiting for next year’s Champions Trophy. Even though Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy, the tournament will be played on a hybrid model. That means the Indian team will not go to Pakistan to participate in the tournament but will play its matches at neutral venues. However, this will not be the only tournament next year in which India and Pakistan will face each other. Apart from this, both the teams will be seen facing each other in other tournaments. These also include Asia Cup 2025.
