Ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 tournament, the official broadcasters Star Sports have unveiled a star-studded commentary panel in various languages for the tournament. This commentary panel will also provide their voices on online platform JioHotstar as well.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will begin on February 19 and will be played in Pakistan and Dubai. The tournament features eight teams divided into two groups. India, Pakistan, New Zealand, and Bangladesh are placed in Group A, while Australia, England, Afghanistan, and South Africa form Group B.
India will play all of its group matches in Dubai and also the semi-final and final if they qualify. This is because BCCI refused to send Team India to Pakistan due to the Indian government’s guidelines.
