Next year’s Champions Trophy final could be switched from Lahore to Dubai if India qualify, creating the possibility that there will be no certainty over the venue until days before the final.

With the schedule and venues of the Champions Trophy 2025 yet to be finalized, India visiting Pakistan looks highly unlikely at this stage. According to a report by The Telegraph.co.uk, the final of the tournament could take place in Dubai should India make it, with the Men in Blue also likely to play all their group-stage matches in that venue.

At present, the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is slated to host the Champions Trophy final on 9 March but the title clash could reportedly move out of Pakistan if India qualify.
