'There are security concerns...': Here's what MEA said on Team India visiting Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025

The ministry of external affairs (MEA) in its weekly briefing reiterated BCCI's stand on Indian cricket team visiting Pakistan for next year's Champions Trophy.

"... The BCCI has issued a statement... They have said that there are security concerns there and therefore it is unlikely that the team will be going there...," said MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

The much-anticipated Champions Trophy 2025, set to be hosted by Pakistan, is shrouded in uncertainty as the ICC Board convenes on November 29 for a critical virtual meeting to decide its fate.
