Pakistan will host the Men’s Champions Trophy in 2025, the first International cricket tournament to be played in Pakistan since 1996 when it hosted the Men’s Cricket World Cup alongside India and Sri Lanka, International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Tuesday.

The ICC announced its tournament schedule for the next decade. Taking to Twitter to share the schedule, ICC revealed that Pakistan will host the Champions Trophy in 2025.

ICC announced the host countries of the four upcoming T20 World Cup editions, two 50-over World Cups, and two Champions Trophy.

In 2024, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will go somewhere it has never been before, with USA hosting the event alongside the West Indies, which staged the tournament in 2010.

In 2026, India and Sri Lanka will host the Men’s T20 World Cup, before another first-time major event host in 2027.

In 2027, Namibia will host the Men’s Cricket World Cup for the first time alongside Zimbabwe and South Africa. South Africa and Zimbabwe last staged the event in 2003.

In 2028 the T20 World Cup will be played in Australia and New Zealand and 12 months later India will host the Champions Trophy.

In 2030, England will share T20 World Cup hosting duties with Ireland and Scotland. It will be the first time since 1999 that Ireland and Scotland have hosted a major global cricket event.

The final scheduled event, in October/November 2031, will be the Men’s Cricket World Cup, played in India and Bangladesh.
