The matches between Pakistan and India at the men s Champions Trophy and the women s ODI World Cup will be played at neutral venues, the ICC said on Thursday.

Next year, the men s Champions Trophy will be played in Pakistan and the women s ODI World Cup in India.

It will also be in place for the men s T20 World Cup in 2026, which India will co-host alongside Sri Lanka, and the women s T20 World Cup in 2028 in Pakistan, the ICC said.

"The match schedule for the men s Champions Trophy 2025 will be confirmed in the coming days," the ICC said in a statement.

Due to soured relations, India have not visited Pakistan since 2008 and the rivals play each other only at multi-team events.

Pakistan visited India for the 50-overs World Cup last year but the Indian cricket board (BCCI) has decided not to send its team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy next year, citing government advice.

Pakistan also hosted the Asia Cup last year but winners India played all their matches in Sri Lanka under.

The Pakistan Cricket Board initially rejected the idea of adopting that "hybrid model" for the Champions Trophy before accepting it on condition that they would be allowed similar favours for ICC events in India.

A politically charged-up India v Pakistan contest is the most anticipated match in any ICC tournament, especially after the suspension of bilateral tours between the bitter cricket-mad neighbours.
