Will tri-series be played between India and Pakistan instead of hybrid model? New demand for PCB revealed

ICC's new chairman Jay Shah has taken charge from today. But even after this, the wait for the decision of Champions Trophy 2025 is still not over. The meeting regarding Champions Trophy has also been postponed from December 5 to December 7. Let us tell you, BCCI wants to play this tournament on hybrid model. At the same time, Pakistan Cricket Board is also ready for hybrid model with some conditions. However, some reports have claimed that ICC has rejected all the conditions of PCB.

Tri series will be played between India and Pakistan?

According to reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board has made four-five demands to accept the hybrid model for the Champions Trophy 2025. The first condition of PCB is that there should be a similar formula for India and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) while hosting ICC events, that is, the tournaments there too should be played on hybrid model. But ICC has refused to accept it. At the same time, Pakistan wants that India and Pakistan should not be kept in the same group, so that Pakistan can play all its matches at home. But this is not acceptable to ICC.

Pakistan Cricket Board is also demanding compensation in exchange for the hybrid model. Although this can also be rejected. Apart from this, the biggest condition of PCB is that India-Pakistan teams should play the tri-series on a neutral venue, no matter who the third country is. But both ICC and BCCI are against this idea and it is certain to be rejected. Let us tell you, no series has been played between the teams of India and Pakistan since 2012. These teams play against each other only in Asia Cup and ICC events.

All cricket boards with BCCI

Let us tell you, Pakistan Cricket Board is currently standing alone regarding Champions Trophy 2025. That means all the cricket boards playing in the Champions Trophy are with India and they are ready to play the tournament on hybrid model. But Pakistan is still adamant on its insistence. In such a situation, if the Pakistan Cricket Board remains adamant on its insistence in the upcoming meeting, it may suffer huge financial loss.
