Pakistani fans face 'tough' visa rules for CT 2025 India match in Dubai​


Pakistani fans wishing to travel to Dubai are unlikely to benefit from relaxed visa policies.

Those who have previously visited Dubai are more likely to be granted visas, and ticket purchases along with travel history will be considered for visa approval, Express News reported.

While tickets for the event are expected to go on sale next week, reports confirm that free passes will not be available this time around.

According to sources, only those who purchase tickets will be allowed to attend the matches.

Additionally, all tickets will be sold online, as per the International Cricket Council (ICC) guidelines, and no physical ticket booths will be set up.

Ticket prices have been revealed, with the cheapest ticket priced at approximately Rs1,000. The most expensive tickets will range between Rs25,000 and Rs30,000, with the prices for the Pakistan-India match expected to be on the higher end.

Final pricing for these tickets will be confirmed in the coming days.

The first round of group stage tickets will be available for purchase first, with tickets for the semi-finals and finals to be sold later.

Moreover, a joint press conference with the captains of all participating teams for the ICC Champions Trophy is scheduled to take place in Pakistan on either February 16 or 17, according to sources from the PCB.

As per PCB sources, a formal letter has been sent to the ICC, requesting that, as per protocol, all team captains gather in the host country prior to the start of the ICC event.

During this press conference, captains will discuss their preparations for the tournament.

The captains of all teams, including India’s Rohit Sharma, are expected to attend the press conference, which will be scheduled by the ICC a few days before the official start of the tournament on February 19.

It is the responsibility of the host board to provide visas to all players, officials, media, sponsors, and fans, including the Indian contingent.

As in previous tours, three Indian players were among those who received visas to visit Pakistan for scheduled events in Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Karachi.

The PCB will continue to handle visa arrangements for any individuals who require them.

Once the ICC announces the schedule for warm-up matches, the final date for the captains’ press conference will also be confirmed.

@HitWicket see here every country has own Visa policy and people's have to follow that .
 
Pakistan is a very balanced side in ODIs so i will give them an edge over India but one thing is for sure side who will bat second will win this game.

Posters won't blame Indian govt. for this?
 
Ind beating Pak and getting hammered in SF is the worst outcome. The leeches kohli rohit klrahul will then milk that win till 27 ODI WC. Rinse and repeat. God, how I wish these leeches are dropped forever. Tired of their entitlement and bs.
 
Pakistan didn’t demolish a second string South African team. In addition, they also beat Australia’s first choice team in the second ODI.

Ignorance is not always a bliss.
Pakistan looks more stable than India right now but they didn't win the second ODI vs full strength Aus, ODI mainstays like Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Carey were missing. It was still a strong side but Head is their main batsman and his absence was felt.
 
Full strength india would beat any team. With washed kohli and rohit pakistan should win.

If correct selections are made then india.
 
Pakistan will do well the whole year in a NY format but when it comes to facing India in a tournament, India always has an advantage. It will be 70-30 India for me...
 
Ind can't score more than 250 on batting pitch also.one of ftbs like Gill or iyer should really score big and win. otherwise no chance .bowling looks awful with out bumrah, Kuldeep.

Yep, without Bumrah and kuldeep, things are gonna be difficult for India to handle but they can beat Pakistan with their batting power.

I don't mind India getting crashed out and if complete overhaul of team happens.Rohit,Kohli,kl , iyer will happily prolong their career shamelessly and drown the team in 27wc.

India batting is not same anymore with Rohit and Kohli occupied top three positions.
 
India will win.

Pakistan have looked more stable , but I think Pakistan lack mental toughness in crucial moments. Things like missing line and length in bowling , giving extras , missing catches, not rotating the strike enough , playing lose shots out of frustration.

India mostly wins against Pakistan in crucial games because of disciplined bowling and fielding.
 
You are missing red ball and white ball cricket.
We had lost the last ODI series against Sri Lanka where our entire batting order failed badly.

That was the only series india has played post world cup 2023.

Indian T20 team is so strong compared to ODI team .

Indian OD Team is not that bad, India will make semis at least. After that in knockout , its matter of one game ,no one can predict.

Only if they can select the below squad assuming Rohit and Virat are playing .

Jaiswal
Rohit
Virat
Iyer
KL (i prefer Sanju or Pant)
Pandya
Nitish
Axar
Kuldeep
Bumrah/Arshdeep ( if bumrah is not fit)
Shami

Kohli and Sharma will play. I do not think they will be discarded from white ball so soon.

Without Bumrah, and with a washed up Rohit and Kohli, I have basically very little expectations from my team.
 
Harsha has picked both Jadeja and Axar. And 4 spinners in total. We are screwed if we pick anything close to that.

Reddy can easily be picked ahead of Jadeja.
Currently ILT20 league happening in dubai and most of wickets are taken by Pacers .its maybe due to weather conditions

Spinners are averaging over 70 and no spinners are in the top 14 wicket-takers list

Still early day as only 2 matches have been played so far by each teams .
 
India and Pakistan will face off in a highly anticipated match on February 23, 2025, during the ICC Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This encounter is part of a hybrid model tournament, with India playing all its matches in the UAE due to security concerns regarding travel to Pakistan. The match is expected to draw significant attention, continuing the storied rivalry between the two cricketing nations

Head to Head record of both teams in the ICC Champions Trophy

Lets clarify one thing.

Its not due to security concerns.

Its due to political concerns.

If it was down to security why are the other 7 teams coming.

Are there lives not important.???


The focus should be on Retaining the CT as it is more important than beating any one opposition.

Yeah 4 spinners on pitches where dew rules the second innings. It was looking odd as though he was hell bent on not picking nitish.i was thinking has he understood anyone insiders heart and left him out.

Spinners are overrated by ICT terribly. You only need 1 specialist spinner even in Indian conditions.

Rest all should offer significant batting ability.
 
Pakistan would have an upper hand this time because they are looking more balanced compared to India
 
Suresh Raina while speaking on a local sports channel:

"I think Pakistan has a better bowling attack. We both have left-arm fast bowlers, but the kind of passion they play with, and whenever they play in Dubai, they get the home advantage."

"Pakistan has played a lot of cricket in Dubai, and we have also lost a World Cup game there. But this scenario will be different because Rohit Sharma knows how crucial these matches with Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand are."

"Virat Kohli will come again and win it for India; his performance will be out of the box."
 
After recent events in indian cricket like no unity in the team , players are fighting for the power , coach & Captain have different opinion etc i don't think we are winning anything.

Some of players may underperform so Rohit can forced to retired after the champion trophy.

Pandya is sidelines by Rohit Sharma otherwise he would have been captain of T20 team Post World T20 and current VC of ODI team .

Pakistan to win this Epic encounter and India will most likely knockout from the tournament after group stage

:kp

If we lose against Pakistan, then I am afraid we will get knocked out as I don't us beating NZ. Though it will not be a bad thing if this debacle will lead to ouster of Rohit, Kela and Kohli.

Yes we will not win against Pakistan & NZ and likely to be knockout from group stage .

Rohit is destroying the team unity.

What he has done with pandya is absolutely selfish .he is taking the revenge because Mumbai Indian sacked him from the captaincy due to Pandya .

Maybe someone influencing Rohit?

It was leaked that Rohit wanted to retire after MCG test but a well wisher of his asked him not to. I think its the same well wisher who was going after Mark Boucher from her instagram when Rohit was sacked as MI captain.

I too prefer us getting ousted from first round.rohit after having an all time dismal series/season for a captian/ batsmen is not even thinking about retirement.he is trying to stall the team progress with out ounce of responsibility .same goes for kohli.both are free loaders and shameless.

I don't know but there is lots of things currently happening in indian cricket .

Most of us don't know but during BGT there was physical contact( Fight ) between two of players .

Indian team announcement PC was delayed for more than 2 hours Just because Gambhir and Rohit was not the same Page.

At the end of day , Rohit's choice of team was selected because Chief Selector favoured Rohit Sharma.GG was completely sidelines by both of them.

Bro , since its not news paper and u r not a verified account on twitter, can u pls list the names and issues if u know 😀. Something happened in selection for sure
 
There is more soul in graveyards in comparison than there is in Dubai cricket stadium. It's truly a soulless, character less, & frankly monstrosity of a venue / stadium to host this match. Please India have a change of heart, border par stadium bana lo, aadha India main, aadha Pak main ya boycott kar do Pak k sath khailna but don't play cricket with us in Dubai
