India's captain Rohit Sharma is expected to attend the Champions Trophy opening ceremony in Pakistan, scheduled for February 16 or 17.

BCCI and PCB came in conclusion with the ICC for a 'hybrid model' Champions Trophy 2025 as India refused to travel to Pakistan for their matches. However, Men in Blue captain Rohit Sharma is likely to visit the neighbor country for the tournament's opening ceremony in Lahore.

Despite India playing all of their matches in Dubai, captain Rohit Sharma might attend the Champions Trophy opening ceremony that the PCB is planning to host in Pakistan, which will require the presence of all eight captains.

Rohit Sharma is likely going to travel to Pakistan before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, since he has to do a photo-shoot for the mega event.

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to announce India's Champions Trophy squad with the ICC tournament just over a month away. The board is expectedly waiting for the domestic 50-over tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) to get over to selected the best team possible.

ICC had January 12 as the deadline for all eight teams to submit their provisional squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy.
