Champions Trophy 2025: Pakistan rejected the news of meeting with BCCI and ICC, took this decision regarding hybrid model – Report. Champions Trophy 2025: PCB Says No Meeting With ICC and BCCI On Champions Trophy Row, For Hybrid Model Might Do Voting

Pakistan Cricket Board on Champions Trophy 2025: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Saturday rejected reports that its officials will hold a meeting with their counterparts from the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on November 26 to resolve the uncertainty over the Champions Trophy. Will hold a virtual meeting. There is a delay in announcing the schedule of the tournament after BCCI expressed its inability to send the Indian team to Pakistan for the tournament.

A reliable source in the PCB told PTI, “We have not received any information from the ICC about any meeting between us, the BCCI and the ICC.” He also said that the PCB has not yet received any response from the ICC on the email it sent to the ICC asking for the reasons for India's reluctance to send the team to the neighboring country.

However, an ICC source clarified that an internal meeting may be held on Tuesday to find a solution to this complex issue. “This is a virtual meeting of the Executive Board members to resolve the issue of the Champions Trophy scheduling once and for all,” he revealed.

He said that this meeting has been called because the broadcasters of the program are putting a lot of pressure on the ICC to finalize the programme. He said, “There is a possibility that there may be a vote on what to do and whether the event should be held in Pakistan, it should be shifted or the 'hybrid model' suggested by the BCCI should be adopted in which India will host its own event. The match will be played in the United Arab Emirates.”

The official admitted that this time the PCB has also taken a tough stance and is not ready to back down from its stand of hosting the Champions Trophy in Pakistan as they have no problem in hosting any team. The source said, “PCB has also made it clear that even if the 'hybrid model' is adopted, it will not play its group match against India in Dubai.

He said that the Executive Board has suggested keeping Pakistan and India in separate pools but the broadcasters are not ready to accept it due to lack of revenue.
