After that, India and Pakistan have primarily faced each other in ICC tournaments and Asia Cups.The decision to have UAE as a neutral venue was expected after a meeting of PCB chairperson Mohsin Naqvi, with senior UAE minister and head of Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) Sheikh Nahyan Al Mubarak in Pakistan, as per ESPNCricinfo."The PCB has picked the UAE as a neutral venue for the Champions Trophy," PCB spokesperson Amir Mir said as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.The much-anticipated contest between arch-rivals India and Pakistan will be played on a Sunday, February 23.

Also, the title clash is slotted for Lahore, with provisions to hold it in UAE if India manages to reach that stage of the tournament."The ICC Board has today approved that matches between India and Pakistan played at ICC Events during the current rights cycle from 2024 to 2027 (which are to be hosted in India or Pakistan) will be played at a neutral venue proposed by the tournament host. This will apply to the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 (Pakistan), ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 (India) and the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 (India and Sri Lanka)," a statement from ICC had said on December 19.In addition, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been awarded hosting rights of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in 2028, where neutral venue arrangements will also apply.
