The International Cricket Council (ICC) has expressed its gratitude to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for successfully hosting the ICC Men\u2019s Champions Trophy 2025 and to the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) for staging five matches of the tournament. The event, which took place from February 19 to March 9, was a landmark moment for Pakistan as it hosted its first global cricket tournament since 1996. Matches were played across four venues: Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi in Pakistan, and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n
India claimed their third Champions Trophy title after defeating New Zealand by four wickets in the final at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n
ICC Chief Executive, Geoff Allardice, praised the efforts of the PCB and all those involved in making the tournament a success. He stated, “We would like to thank and congratulate the Pakistan Cricket Board for successfully hosting the ICC Men\u2019s Champions Trophy 2025. As this was the first global multi-team cricket event played in the country since 1996, this event was of huge significance for the PCB, and all those involved in renovating the stadiums, preparing the playing surfaces, delivering the matches and hosting the teams and visitors should be very proud of their efforts.”<\/p>\n
He also acknowledged the Emirates Cricket Board for their role in hosting a part of the tournament, saying, “The ICC would also like to thank the Emirates Cricket Board for staging five of the matches in Dubai and continuing to provide great support to the ICC in staging its major men’s and women’s events.”<\/p>\n
Emphasizing the global impact of the tournament, Allardice added, “The tournament once again showed the importance of ICC events as fans all over the world watched and followed it with great enthusiasm either at the venues or on satellite and digital channels. Thanks to the eight participating teams for making it such a compelling event, and congratulations to India for winning a third Champions Trophy title in a memorable final.”<\/p>\n
The successful completion of the ICC Men\u2019s Champions Trophy 2025 marks a significant achievement for both Pakistan and the Emirates Cricket Board, reinforcing their capability to host major international cricket events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
