As of yet, Indian has not given the all-clear to travel to Pakistan for the 2025 Champions Trophy. The option to participate in the event in a bordering nation has been left up to the Indian government by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). In anticipation of hosting an ICC event for the first time since 1996, Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has promised Indian fans that watching live matches in Pakistan will be a realistic experience.
It is important to note that citizens of both countries are subject to severe limitations when it comes to travelling to each other. Security concerns prevented the majority of Pakistani fans from attending the 2023 World Cup in India. In contrast, Naqvi has promised Indian fans a unique number of tickets and a speedy visa issuance, according to a Hindustan Times story.
According to Naqvi, “we will try to make the visa issuance policy brisk and we will maintain a special quota of tickets for Indian fans.”

Naqvi also asked the Indian squad to participate in the event instead of not going.
