Sumair Ahmad Syed, the Chief Operating Officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has been named the Tournament Director for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, which will take place in Pakistan.
As Pakistan is ready to host one of the largest athletic events in its recent history, this appointment represents a huge milestone for the PCB and the nation.
Sumair Ahmad is an extraordinarily well-organized professional with a plethora of administrative experience, according to PCB Chair Mohsin Naqvi, who also expressed trust in his skills. Together with his everlasting love for cricket, I have no doubt that he will give players, officials, and spectators alike an ICC Champions Trophy 2025 they won’t soon forget.
The anticipated timescale for determining match dates for the next ICC 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan is projected to be delayed once more.
There are still a lot of unknowns surrounding the tournament’s final schedule, which is set for February–March 2025.
According to a close source, the timetable is unlikely to be made public in the next few days because of persistent problems with the event’s suggested hybrid format.
The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) adamant objection to the hybrid concept, which calls for holding some games in neutral locations, has impeded efforts to finalize the calendar. One of the primary points of contention in the discussions is the PCB’s unwavering stance to play against India on neutral territory.
