ICC begins Trophy Tour for Champions Trophy in Pakistan, POK cities dropped

Following India's objections, the ICC has removed cities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) from the Champions Trophy tour. The tour will now only visit Karachi, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and Abbottabad. The ICC acted swiftly after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) raised concerns about the initial itinerary, which included PoK cities like Skardu, Hunza, and Muzaffarabad.
