Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh opined on India’s decision not to tour Pakistan for the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy. He shared his opinion once again after the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the Indian team would play their matches at neutral venues. Harbhajan also stated that Virat Kohli and the current Indian team enjoy a huge fan following in Pakistan and fans there want to see them play on Pakistani soil as well.
Speaking in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan Singh said, “If the conditions are good, then who would not want to go to Pakistan? We got a lot of love there. When we went to play there, the people gave a lot of love to the Indian team. Even today, there are a lot of fans in Pakistan of Virat Kohli and this Indian team and they want to see them play. But there are security issues. India have played in Pakistan in the past as well, and if the situation between the two countries improves, India will go once again.”

Reacting to the 2025 Champions Trophy between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB),
Harbhajan Singh said that India won’t suffer if Pakistan refuse to tour India for ICC events in the future as well.
Harbhajan Singh told India Today: “Don’t come to India if you don’t want to, we don’t have any issues. If Pakistan don’t come to India, it won’t matter much. You may ask current cricketers and they will have the same opinion. Had the situation in Pakistan been different, things could have been different.”
