Champions Trophy 2025
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced a full ticket refund for the two ICC Champions Trophy 2025 matches that were abandoned without a ball being bowled at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The decision comes as part of the PCB’s commitment to ensuring fairness for ticket holders affected by the cancellations.
The matches that were completely washed out include the Australia vs. South Africa clash on February 25 and the Bangladesh vs. Pakistan encounter on February 27. As per the PCB Ticket Refund Policy for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, spectators who purchased tickets for these fixtures will be eligible for a 100% refund under specific conditions.
Eligibility Criteria for Refund
According to the policy outlined by the PCB, ticket holders are entitled to a full refund if:
- The match was abandoned before the toss.
- Tickets for all enclosures will be refunded.
However, the PCB has clarified that hospitality ticket holders, including those who purchased boxes and PCB gallery seats, will not be eligible for a refund.
How and When to Claim a Refund
Eligible ticket holders can claim their refunds from Monday, March 10, 2025, to Friday, March 14, 2025. Refunds can be processed only at selected TCS outlets across various cities in Pakistan.
