Will the Champions Trophy 2025 miss an opening ceremony?

Published

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 may commence without the traditional opening ceremony or captains’ press conference due to a modified arrival schedule for the participating teams.

This year, the England and Australia cricket teams will arrive in Pakistan nearer to the commencement of the event.

Sources inside the International Cricket Council (ICC) have verified that teams, including England and Australia, will arrive in Pakistan following their separate tours.

England is set to complete its tour of India by February 12, but Australia will conclude their series in Sri Lanka on February 14.

Consequently, both teams have retracted from the warm-up matches, a decision aligned with prior ICC events, where tardy attendance hindered practice matches.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) indicated interest in staging an opening ceremony; but, logistical issues related to the teams’ arrival dates resulted in its postponement.

The PCB stated that although the occurrence was not officially verified, it has consistently been regarded as a potentiality.

Although the opening ceremony and press conference have been cancelled, the PCB is dedicated to organising an alternative event to commemorate the importance of hosting the ICC Champions Trophy for the first time in 29 years.

The inaugural match of the tournament, featuring Pakistan and New Zealand, is set for February 19 in Karachi.

The PCB has stated that a celebration for fans will be organized ahead of the match to highlight the excitement surrounding the event.

The suicide attack at Darul Uloom Haqqania has been widely denounced by the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They claimed that when Security Forces take action against the Khawarij faction, they not only attack mosques and seminaries but also use them as safe havens.
The public has demanded that the state step up its efforts to combat the Khawarij, highlighting the fact that their violence still poses a serious threat to the general public, especially academics. They have stated their steadfast support for Security Forces in their fight against this danger.
They claim that the Khawarij assault schools, seminaries, and mosques in an effort to deny Pakistan’s youth an education and take advantage of women and children as human shields. While explosions in public places have killed innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, they have also desecrated the sanctity of mosques and turned them into terrorist hotspots.
They have called on the government to punish those accountable for this catastrophe severely and to put in place strong safeguards against future occurrences of this kind.
