Lahore has reportedly been confirmed as the venue for the tournament's final. However, a report from England's popular daily newspaper, the Telegraph claims that the final can be shifted to Dubai if the Indian cricket team qualifies for the summit clash of Champions Trophy 2025. 

If ban on India playing in Pakistan is not lifted, ICC will have to look at alternative arrangements for Champions Trophy.

The report further claimed that India can play all of their games in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) if they decide not to travel to Pakistan. 

However, in the past few weeks, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has shown confidence that the tournament will take place in Pakistan in its entirety.

The Champions Trophy is set to take place from 19th February to 9th March and will be played across Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi emphasized that preparations for the event are progressing on schedule, with further improvements to stadiums already in motion.
