Rohit Sharma's Possible Visit to Pakistan Ahead of Champions Trophy 2025 Throws a Twist

In a surprise move that could further strain bilateral ties between India and Pakistan, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is likely to visit Pakistan ahead of the upcoming ICC Men's T20 Championship, scheduled for February-March in 2025.

According to industry sources, Rohit is expected to participate in an all-captains photo shoot and a press conference where he will discuss his team's expectations from the tournament. While not officially confirmed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Sports Tak has revealed that Rohit may venture into Pakistani territory ahead of the championship.

This move, if confirmed, comes amid increasing tensions between the two nations. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will host all eight teams participating in the tournament, and India is set to play its matches in Dubai and other venues in the UAE.

India's team is currently gearing up for their upcoming white-ball series against England and will face Bangladesh in their Champions Trophy Opener on February 20 at the Dubai International Stadium. The timing of Rohit's visit remains unclear, but it has sparked curiosity among cricket fans and analysts alike about the Indian captain's intentions and what this move might signal for Indo-Pak relations.

However, it is worth noting that the BCCI has not officially announced plans for Rohit to attend a photo shoot in Pakistan, and details are still pending confirmation. As preparations unfold leading up to the tournament, one thing is clear – the stage will be firmly set on India vs. Pakistan sports rivalry during the Champions Trophy 2025.
