ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has become the main topic of cricket for a month. This is because both the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the Pakistan Cricket Board have been involved in the venue and schedule of the tournament.

BCCI and PCB have been in a big fight for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

BCCI has made it clear that they will not send the Indian National Cricket Team to Pakistan. This is because the Indian government does not allow the board to travel to the neighboring country due to security reasons.

On the other hand, the Pakistan Cricket Board has been strong in its stance. They have repeatedly mentioned that they will host the entire ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in their backyard.

The PCB has conveyed the same to the ICC and is totally opposed to scrapping the tournament or even holding it in a Hybrid model..
