ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Warm-Up: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and live-streaming details

The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy Warm-Up, hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is scheduled to take place from February 14 to 17. This three-day tournament will feature five teams: host nation Pakistan (Shaheens), Afghanistan, South Africa, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. Four warm-up matches will be played across three stadiums, providing teams with one final opportunity to fine-tune their form before the high-stakes ICC Champions Trophy begins on February 19.

The Warm-Up tournament will kick off on February 14 at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, where Pakistan's Shaheens squad, captained by Shadab Khan, will take on Afghanistan.

The subsequent games will be held at the National Stadium in Karachi, followed by the ICC Cricket Academy in Dubai, which will host the final encounter on February 17. These venues will provide a varied playing experience for the participating teams as they prepare for the main event. India, England, and Australia are not participating in this warm-up series.

Shadab Khan will lead Pakistan’s Shaheens against Afghanistan in Lahore, Muhammad Hurraira will captain the team in Karachi for the match against South Africa, and Mohammad Haris will take charge in Dubai when the Shaheens face Bangladesh.

The warm-up matches will be crucial for teams to sharpen their skills and strategies ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. Pakistan will face New Zealand in the opening match of the tournament at the National Stadium in Karachi.

This warm-up series is expected to provide teams with invaluable match experience as they strive to perform at their best during the upcoming ICC tournament.
