"We are delighted to launch the Trophy Tour ahead of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy, where another action-packed programme of activity is available to fans across the world. The silverware, which will be showcased across all participating nations, will allow the sport's passionate fanbase to enjoy the unforgettable experience of being up close with the iconic trophy," Anurag Dahiya, ICC's chief commercial officer, said.  Champions Trophy to be held in hybrid model? As things stand, with less than three months to go for the Champions Trophy to start Pakistan is not yet confident of hosting the entire tournament with the Indian team reluctant to travel. Pakistan's proposal to host India's matches including the final has been rejected by the BCCI, leaving ICC with three options. Like 2008, the Champions Trophy could be postponed until a solution is met as the ICC could explore the idea. On the other hand, India's reluctance to travel could force them out of the tournament if they are forfeited. However, that option looks unlikely due to India's brand value in cricket and Jay Shah set to become the chairperson of the board of directors of ICC. The hybrid model remains the best option and likely option to host the Champions Trophy with India's matches to take place outside Pakistan while the rest of the seven teams play in the nation.
