There was an ICC meeting on 29 November regarding the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. All board members including Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) attended this meeting. In this meeting it was to be decided when and where the Champions Trophy 2025 would be played. Can the tournament be organized on hybrid model or not? Or the entire tournament will be played in Pakistan only. But even after the ICC meeting, no decision has been taken on this tournament. This meeting has now been postponed.

No solution found again on Champions Trophy 2025

Actually, Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy, but the Indian team has refused to tour the neighboring country. Since then there is a dispute going on as to when and where the tournament will be played. Due to which ICC had organized this meeting. This was a virtual meeting, according to media reports, this meeting could last only for 10 to 15 minutes, after which the meeting was postponed till 30th November i.e. tomorrow. Now the final decision on this tournament is expected on November 30.

1 out of 3 options will be selected for the tournament

Three options were to be considered in the ICC meeting, it is believed that the Champions Trophy will be played on one of these options. The first option is that the tournament should be on hybrid model. Except Team India, all the matches will be played in Pakistan only. The second option is that the tournament will be played completely outside Pakistan and the hosting rights remain with PCB. At the same time, the last option is that this entire tournament will be played in Pakistan, but India will not be a part of it.

Let us tell you, the Indian team has not toured Pakistan even once since 2008. Relations between India and Pakistan have not been good for quite some time. Due to this, no series is played between the two teams. In such a situation, Team India wants to play this tournament on hybrid model. At the same time, the Pakistan Cricket Board recently informed the ICC that it will not accept the hybrid model for the Champions Trophy. Let us tell you, Pakistan had earlier also hosted Asia Cup 2023. Even then Team India played its matches in Sri Lanka instead of Pakistan. Team India wants a similar option this time too.
