FOR the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the United Arab Emirates (UAE) remains priority for being a neutral venue for the 2025 Champions Trophy. However, certain visa policy of the UAE for select nations means the PCB is also looking for an alternate option and that could be Colombo in Sri Lanka.

Of late, Pakistan citizens have reportedly faced visa rejection for UAE. Similarly, Afghanistan nationals too have been facing issues. Afghanistan is among eight teams to qualify for the Champions Trophy. It will be Afghanistan's maiden appearance in the Champions Trophy.
