PCB faces $85m loss in hosting Champions Trophy 2025

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly suffered a staggering $85 million (Rs 737.8 crore) loss after hosting the ICC Champions Trophy, a tournament in which the national team played only one home match before being eliminated, as reported by Telegraph India.

Pakistan's Champions Trophy campaign was short-lived. The team suffered a defeat against New Zealand in Lahore, followed by a crucial loss to India in Dubai. Their third and final group-stage match against Bangladesh was abandoned due to rain, preventing any chance of redemption.

With one loss and no wins, Pakistan exited the tournament early, leaving them with just one game on home soil, despite investments of $100 million (Rs 868 crore) made in hosting the event.
