India will not be playing any practice games before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan, and the UAE. However, Pakistan will be playing 3 warm-up matches against Bangladesh, South Africa, and Afghanistan. The Press Trust of India (PTI) reports that as per the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), India would not have warm-up matches as they recently played a three-match ODI series against England. Besides that, the report also stated that the Indian team will land in Dubai on 15 February 2025, five days prior to their opening encounter against Bangladesh. The warm-up matches will be held in Pakistan and Dubai from 14 to 17 February, leading up to the main tournament. India is scheduled to play all their matches in Dubai due to the Indian government not allowing the players to travel to Pakistan to political tensions between India and Pakistan. If India qualifies for the knockouts, those matches will also take place in Dubai. As for the warm-up matches, Afghanistan, South Africa, and Bangladesh will play their warm-up games on 14 and 17 February, while Afghanistan will also face New Zealand on 16 February. New Zealand and South Africa are presently in Pakistan to compete in the tri-series with the host team. These warm-up matches will be played by the second-string team of Pakistan named Pakistan Shaheens, while all-rounder Shadab Khan will lead against Afghanistan in Lahore on 14 February, with two more matches scheduled on 17 February, one in Karachi and the other in Dubai. In Karachi, Mohammad Hurraira will captain the team against South Africa, while Mohammad Haris will do so against Bangladesh in Dubai. The match between Afghanistan and New Zealand will be held in Karachi on 16 February.
