Follow UsThe 2025 Champions Trophy will begin on February 19 in Pakistan, with India playing their first game against Bangladesh on February 20. The Men in Blue will play all their fixtures, including the knockout matches if they qualify, in Dubai. The winners of the 2013 Champions Trophy, India, are placed in Group A alongside Bangladesh, New Zealand and Pakistan.
