ICC extends gratitude to PCB for successful hosting of Champions Trophy

Dubai, Mar 12 (UNI) The International Cricket Council has issued a note of thanks to the Pakistan Cricket Board for successfully hosting the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025.

The eight-team tournament, which concluded on Sunday (March 9) saw India clinch the title for the third time.

The 15 matches in the tournament were played across three cities in Pakistan – Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi – with India playing all of their games in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

The event, which kickstarted on February 19, saw Pakistan hosting an ICC tournament for the first time since 1996.

“We would like to thank and congratulate the Pakistan Cricket Board for successfully hosting the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025,” ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said.

“As this was the first global multi-team cricket event played in the country since 1996, this event was of huge significance for the PCB, and all those involved in renovating the stadiums, preparing the playing surfaces, delivering the matches and hosting the teams and visitors should be very proud of their efforts," he said.

“The ICC would also like to thank the Emirates Cricket Board for staging five of the matches in Dubai and continuing to provide great support to the ICC in staging its major men’s and women’s events,” Allardice added.
