The ICC said that the ticket sales for the Pakistan leg of next month's Champions Trophy will begin from Tuesday despite the stadium renovation work in the host nation is yet to be completed.

With Pakistan opener Saim Ayub being virtually ruled out of the 2025 Champions Trophy, out-of-favour batter Fakhar Zaman is reportedly being considered as replacement. The form of Abdullah Shafique is also a concern for the Men in Green.

Pakistan is reportedly close to announcing their Champions Trophy 2025 squad with PCB nearly deciding on all the names.

West Indies hammered Pakistan by 120 runs in the second Test to post their first win in the nation after a gap of 34 years.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has all but ruled out Saim Ayub from contention for the Champions Trophy 2025 due to fitness concerns. As discussions over the final lineup intensify, the national selectors are expected to announce the squad following the conclusion of the second Pakistan-West Indies Test in Multan.
