While it's desperately disappointing the final will now be moved from Lahore to Dubai, there's no disputing that India have been by far and away the best team in this tournament. Congratulations to India on yet another final. Here's to watching them play in Pakistan one day...

It's been such a wonderful experience to be a part of BBC's broadcast team for the Champion's Trophy in Pakistan & UAE. The games haven't been phenomenal, but the vibes certainly have been. Ahead of tomorrow's semi-final, reflecting on the joy of the grind. Love my job 🤲🏼

Jos Buttler is perhaps England's greatest ever white ball player. But his performance has dropped off significantly as captain of the team. One would hope without the burden of captaincy, he focus entirely on his performance in the middle and return to his explosive best.

Australia vs South Africa in Rawalpindi has officially been abandoned due to rain #AUSvSA

It's raining here in Rawalpindi and hence we have a delayed toss. Locals expect the weather to clear though and for us to get some cricket...possibly even a completed game. Let's see. Join us on @bbctms for all the action and chat #AUSvSA

It's a tall task for Pakistan tomorrow as they take on India in the Champion's Trophy. A loss will mean they are virtually eliminated. With the way India have played of late, it'll take something special to get the W. Join us on @bbctms for the big one in Dubai... #PAKvIND

Back at the beautiful National Stadium Karachi for Afghanistan vs South Africa today. The action gets underway in just over an hour. Join us on @bbctms for every ball #AFGvSA

After an 8 year wait, the Champion's Trophy returns. It's been an even longer wait for Pakistan to host a global ICC event, this is their first since the ODI World Cup in 1996. The crowd is pouring in to the National Stadium Karachi. What an honour to be here to call the action #PAKvNZ

Really excited to be part of BBC's commentary team that'll bring live ball by ball coverage of every match of the 2025 Champion's Trophy from Pakistan and UAE. Join us on BBC Sounds, the BBC Sport Website & App and of course on @bbctms. Starting on Wednesday the 19th of February.

The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Pre and Post Upgradation. What do we think?

The highly anticipated Pakistan vs India match at the Champion's Trophy in Dubai has predictably extortionate ticket prices. The lowest price is AED 500 (£110) and the highest is AED 12,500 (£2,475). Between resellers and touts, these prices could go higher still.

Sorry haven't posted about cricket for a while. Been busy marrying the love of my life ♥️ @neelamaslam.bsky.social

Alyssa Healy & Mitchell Starc, who are married to each other, are both currently playing their 287th international match for Australia. Talk about being in sync. Mind, body, soul and cricket 🫶

Lahore ♥️

Enjoying attending my first ever PSL Draft in Lahore, Pakistan. Had a chance to see all of the trophies over the past decade of the league.

Two divisions of Test Cricket is a terrible idea. The number of test playing teams is already too low - 12...of which only 9 currently feature in the World Test Championship. Widening the gap isn't the way to save the format...it's the way to bury it.

It's been a really strong performance from South Africa in this series. If the can replicate the form they've shown against Pakistan, they'll have a strong chance against Australia in the World Test Championship final this summer.

Pakistan is the only team in the world that can be bowled out for 194 and then in the 2nd innings be 213 for 1...on the same day #SAvPAK

Kohli emptying his pockets to the crowd to show he doesn't have any sandpaper. Classic 🤣 #AUSvIND

Prasidh Krishna has three wickets. Australia still 104 runs away from victory. The thriller is on 👀 #AUSvINDIA

Looks like Australia will more or less cruise it from here. It's a shame, the test match could have been a thriller but for Bumrah's injury. Australia romping to victory will feel like a bit of an anticlimax now... #AUSvIND

If ever there was a test match where 161 could be a defendable 4th innings lead...this is it. I could see India winning this... #AUSvIND

Heartbreak for Pakistan as Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen get South Africa over the line in a thrilling test match at Centurion. Mohammad Abbas was phenomenal...but ultimately too tall a task to defend 148. South Africa into the World Test Championship final #SAvPAK

Mohammad Abbas last played a test for Pakistan in August 2021. Criminally underused, at age 34 he's only played 25 test matches for his country. But he's maintained his razor sharp skills and is the living embodiment of the phrase "never give up". What a performance 👏👏👏#SAvPAK

Three wickets in three overs and it looks like a completely different game. What a dramatic turnaround from Pakistan. South Africa still need 49 runs to win and have just 3 wickets remaining. A thriller ongoing at Centurion #SAvPAK

The 19 year old Sam Konstas has hit Jasprit Bumrah out of the attack after 6 overs on his test debut in the Boxing Day test. Read that again 👀 #AUSvIND

I can't take my eyes off this. Sam Konstas is incredible. The fearlessness. The conviction. Wow. #AUSvIND

Imagine ramping the best bowler in the world for 4 and taking 14 off his over on your test debut.... 👀 #AUSvIND

In case you want to feel really old, Sam Konstas who's currently opening the batting for Australia in the 4th test, was born 20 days after the 2005 Ashes series 👀 #AUSvIND

The Champion's Trophy fixture/venue list was finally released today. The mad rush for visas, hotel bookings, logistics and management is on! Hoping to be a part of the tournament again in some form or fashion.

A third ODI century for Saim Ayub. Each ton has been better than the last. He continues to show exactly why there is so much hype, so much excitement about his batting. Pakistan have unearthed a very special talent in this young man #SAvPAK

And it's done. Pakistan follow up ODI series wins against Australia and Zimbabwe with another series win against South Africa. A good build up in ODIs for the upcoming Champion's Trophy #SAvPAK

Pakistan will host the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in 2028! Huge news!

This is Babar Azam's first half century in ODIs since his 66* against New Zealand at the World Cup last year in Bengaluru #SAvPAK

It's official. India won't go to Pakistan. Pakistan won't go to India. All ICC tournaments hosted by either country will use the hybrid format. It's fair. But sad. Like most cricket fans, I really hope to see a time where Indians and Pakistanis can have a normal arrangement.

And there is! A second ODI century for Saim Ayub. And a different kind of innings that's likely to prove match-winning for Pakistan. This boy has limitless potential... #SAvPAK

South Africa went from 70 for no loss to 88 for 4. And all four wickets fell to Salman Agha. What a turnaround from Pakistan #SAvPAK

In no particular order: #NZvENG: Great performance NZ #AUSvIND: Shame about the weather...could have been a thriller. #WIvBAN: Outstanding heist for Bangladesh #SAvENG: Maia & Nat 👏👏👏 #SAvPAK: Nothing about Pakistani cricket surprises me anymore 👊

What a brilliant day for English women's test cricket. A 2nd Test century for Nat Sciver-Brunt and a maiden ton for Maia Bouchier. A strong performance for the visitors on day one #SAvENG

You can do nothing but tip your hat to that South African run chase. An incredible century for Reeza Hendricks was just the difference between both teams #SAvPAK

Superb innings from Saim Ayub...the kind of innings we've all known he's capable of. His first T20I fifty, so close to his first T20I hundred. But that will no doubt come soon. 206 is a strong total for Pakistan in Centurion... #SAvPAK

I reckon Jason Gillespie will be Pakistan's last overseas Head Coach for a long time. Who would sign up to be treated the way he and many others have...?

Dizzy deserved better.

It's decider time in the women's ODI series between South Africa and England in Potchefstroom. Join us now on BBC Test Match Special and BBC Sounds for live ball by ball commentary #SAvENG

Pakistan take 9 wickets...but South Africa get 183 on the board, a more than decent total and what will likely prove a difficult one to chase. David Miller and George Linde ensured that Pakistan will have to bat extremely well if they're to emerge victorious in Durban #SAvPAK

This is the epitome of modern day T20 batting from South Africa, particularly David Miller. Despite losing three early wickets and 5 so far, they've managed to keep scoring at 10 an over. You're there for a good time, not a long time... #SAvPAK

This is a brutal display of power-hitting from David Miller. It's the kind of strokeplay that got him the Killer Miller nickname. Breathtaking to watch #SAvPAK

After what feels like a long time, Shaheen Afridi does a very typically Shaheen Afridi thing: takes a wicket in the first over of a game #SAvPAK

Australia and England both completed test match wins over India and New Zealand respectively in just 3 days. Both excellent, but I feel slightly cheated out of 2 days of test cricket.

I've never seen a bowler knock all three stumps out of the ground. But if I had to put my money on one to do it, I'd go with Lauren Filer #SAvENG
