Team India's Participation in Doubt
However, there is doubt over Team India's participation in the tournament. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has expressed security concerns about traveling to Pakistan. The BCCI has asked the ICC to shift the tournament to a neutral venue, but the ICC has refused.
If India does not participate in the Champions Trophy, it will be a major blow to the tournament. India is one of the strongest teams in the world and their absence would weaken the competition.
