Pakistan is set to host the Champions Trophy next year, and according to media reports, there is a proposal to hold India’s three pool matches at two different venues.
Media reported that ICC broadcasters, who are also the broadcasters for the Indian board, suggest that having matches at two venues will enhance broadcast quality and the event's value.
Holding India’s matches at a single venue would not leave a good impression.
The reports state that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has no objections to hosting matches at two venues, and they have proposed Rawalpindi as one of the locations based on this suggestion.
Foreign media has indicated that the PCB had initially proposed Lahore as a venue for India, but the broadcaster suggested including another venue to minimize travel for the Indian team.
According to media reports, the proposed schedule includes three matches for Indian teams in Lahore, with a match against Bangladesh on February 20 and another against New Zealand on February 23.
Additionally, a high-voltage clash between Pakistan and India is proposed for March 1, with Pakistan, India, New Zealand, and Bangladesh suggested to be in Group A.
