With the Champions Trophy 2025 just around the corner, all eyes are on the Indian cricket team, particularly their captain, Rohit Sharma. Will he travel to Pakistan for the official photoshoot before the event? According to emerging reports, it seems quite likely that Rohit Sharma will make the trip to Pakistan for the shoot, even though it may seem uncertain at first. Here’s why this could happen and what it would mean for the upcoming tournament.

Why Rohit Sharma May Travel To Pakistan Before Champions Trophy 2025?

As part of the tradition for major ICC events, a photoshoot and press conference are held with the captains of all participating teams in the host country before the tournament begins. Since Pakistan is the host for the 2025 Champions Trophy, there’s a good chance that Rohit Sharma, along with the other team captains, will head to Pakistan for this event.

This would mark a significant moment, as Pakistan is hosting an ICC event for the first time since the 1996 ODI World Cup, making it an even more special occasion.

What If Rohit Sharma Doesn't Travel To Pakistan

If Rohit Sharma is unable to attend the photoshoot in Pakistan, one solution could be for the ICC to move the event to Dubai, where India is scheduled to play all their matches. Meanwhile, he would also become the first captain in ICC tournament history to skip this key event. 

However, there’s still a small chance that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) might arrange for his travel, as he would only need to be there for a few hours. Managing the security for just one player for a short period could be easier than organising the logistics for an entire team over the span of the tournament.

It is important to note that OneCricket doesn't confirm Rohit Sharma's visit to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy photoshoot.
