"We try sensationalizing everything. A few reports have suggested that Jay Shah has given a positive signal. However, I don't think he's given any signals. I wouldn't have been excited even if there had been a signal from him because the ICC has to ensure that all teams visit Pakistan,

Butt further said that if India decides to not travel to Pakistan, ICC will have to deal with BCCI over the matter and this will be a good place to see if the governing body can deal with the Indian cricket board.

"If they come, then they welcome, if they don't, the ICC has to deal with it. We will find out if they can just deal with all the other countries or do the same with India. It will show how much authority they have as a regulator and how neutral they can be," he added.

There has been a lot of discussion over whether India will travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025. The two countries have not played a bilateral series for more than a decade due to political tensions but the Pakistan cricket team travelled to India in 2023 for the ODI World Cup. However, there has been no official communication from the Indian government or the BCCI when it comes to India's possible visit to Pakistan for the competition. After India's T20 World Cup 2024 triumph, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah said that their target is to win the World Test Championship and Champions Trophy next. However, he once again did not specify if India will be traveling to Pakistan in 2025.
