The future of Champions Trophy 2025 was in fray after BCCI refused Team India’s travel to Pakistan due to security concerns. However, Pakistan were initially reluctant to accept the hybrid model, which led to ICC take a tough call. After continuous talks, PCB has reportedly accepted the hybrid model with India playing all its matches at a neutral venue, highly likely in the UAE.
Moreover, these updates around ICC likely to announce the schedule of Champions Trophy 2025 comes with the PCB’s Board of Governors convening a meeting on December 18. According to a report in ARYNews, PCB will discuss issues related to Champions Trophy, Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the 2025 cricketing season.
