As of January 15, 2025, no decision has been made regarding Rohit Sharma’s travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy captain’s meet. A source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that the focus will first be on announcing the team before considering any travel arrangements.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is planning a grand opening ceremony for the Champions Trophy, tentatively scheduled for February 16 or 17, where all team captains are expected to attend. Despite India playing its matches at a neutral venue in Dubai due to security concerns, there is speculation that Rohit Sharma may make a brief trip to Pakistan for this event.

The BCCI has emphasized that decisions regarding player participation in domestic and international events will be made with careful consideration of safety and logistics. Until the Indian squad is officially announced, discussions about Rohit’s potential travel remain on hold. The Champions Trophy is set to begin on February 19, marking a significant occasion as Pakistan hosts an ICC tournament for the first time since 1996.
