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.
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.
If the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma fails to get clearance to travel to Pakistan once again, he will become the only captain in ICC tournament history to skip a captains’ meet for any ICC event. However, there is still a small chance that the BCCI might book Rohit Sharma’s ticket for the meet, as he will only need to be there for a few hours. Looking after the security details of one player for one day can be less tricky than maintaining it for an entire team for 19 days.
