India’s Champions Trophy clash with Pakistan to be played at neutral venue

INDIA will face host nation Pakistan at a neutral venue at the Champions Trophy in February, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced.

The ICC has confirmed all matches between the two countries in its tournaments, both men and women’s and including next year’s Women’s World Cup, will be played at neutral venues up until at least 2027.

Political tensions between the two nations have led to strained sporting relations and India, cricket’s richest and most powerful country, have not played a game in Pakistan since the 2008 Asia Cup.
