Cricket fans can now purchase tickets for India's UAE-hosted Champions Trophy matches.

The Indian team will be playing their set of three group games in Dubai in the absence of clearance from their government to travel to Pakistan, owing to ongoing political tensions.

India play Bangladesh on February 20, take on Pakistan on February 23, and round off the group with a match against New Zealand on March 2, with all matches at the Dubai International Stadium.

The first of the competition's semi-finals will also take place in Dubai on March 4. There is also provision for the final to be played in Dubai on March 9 should the Indian team go all the way. If they don't then the final will be played, as originally planned, in Lahore.

Tickets for the matches in Dubai go on sale from 4pm on Monday, February 3, through the ICC's official Champions Trophy website. General stand ticket prices at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium will start from Dh125.

Tickets for the 10 Champions Trophy matches taking place in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi went on sale last week and are available to buy online.
