He emphasized that the ICC is committed to making sure the tournament goes smoothly.
As they continue getting ready, the ICC’s visit to Karachi’s National Stadium highlights how vital good planning & teamwork are in making sure that the Champions Trophy 2025 becomes an unforgettable event for cricket fans around the globe.
