From November 22 to 25, the trophy will be displayed in Karachi, but notably, Lahore has been excluded from the tour, which has caused disappointment among cricket fans in the city.
In addition to the trophy tour, the Pakistan government has announced plans to issue visas to Indian fans for the upcoming Champions Trophy, which will be held in Pakistan in February next year. This gesture aims to encourage cross-border participation, with a large number of Indian fans expected to attend. The relaxation of border regulations has been communicated to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), further paving the way for a historic and highly anticipated event.
