The Indian cricket team is gearing up for a significant challenge with the Champions Trophy on the horizon. The situation has become even more intriguing with Jay Shah set to assume the role of ICC chairman. One of the key points of speculation is the venue for the Champions Trophy, especially with the possibility of India traveling to Pakistan.
