The eight-team ODI tournament will run from February 19 to March 9 across 3 venues in Pakistan and 1 venue in Dubai for the India matches.
The Champions Trophy is marking a return to the international calendar for the first time in eight years after hosts Pakistan won the previous edition held in England in 2017. Pakistan defeated India by 180 runs in the final at the Oval, four years after India lifted the title over hosts England in 2013.
India, placed in Group A with Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand, will now have their matches held in Dubai.
India and Pakistan last met in the 2024 ICC men’s T20 World Cup in New York. The Men in Blue scripted a dramatic six-run win before marching on to clinch the title in Barbados. Their last ODI meeting occurred during the 2023 Cricket World Cup when India beat Pakistan by seven wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India entered their fourth final in the World Cup, but fell before eventual winners Australia who recorded their sixth title in Ahmedabad.
