Will ICC Champions Trophy 2025 be played in a hybrid model?
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025, scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan, is facing major concerns due to India’s reluctance to travel to the country. The BCCI has already announced that they will not be able to send their team to Pakistan due to the government’s denial.
The Indian board wants the tournament to be held in a hybrid model and the ICC is trying to convince the PCB. However, the PCB has made it clear that it will not allow the tournament to move outside of Pakistan.
According to information, Pakistan said that they will not visit India for the next tournaments and wants these tournaments to be held in a hybrid model. However, the Champions Trophy dilemma is likely to be resolved in a matter of days and the final schedule will be announced.
