Though uncertainty prevails regarding the match, the PCB had appointed Sumair Ahmed Sayed as the chief operating officer of the Champions Trophy. In a statement released by the PCB, chairman Mohsin Naqvi had stated that the board intends to host the entire tournament in Pakistan.

“Sumair is an exceptionally organized professional with a wealth of administrative expertise. Coupled with his unwavering passion for cricket, I am confident he will deliver an unforgettable ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for players, officials, and fans alike,” he said.
