icc to announce champions trophy 2025 schedule this weekend claims reports amid india pakistan confrontation

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Schedule: Champions Trophy, a historic tournament which has been won by 6 different countries so far. The Champions Trophy was last organized in 2017, but now it seems as if the ICC's decision to bring back the tournament in 2025 is wrong. There are about 3 months left for the tournament to be held and the schedule has not been finalized yet. Amidst the conflict between India and Pakistan, a media report has now revealed that ICC can announce the schedule of Champions Trophy by this weekend.

Sources quoted by IANS have said that ICC can announce the schedule by the end of this week. Talks are going on with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials on the subject of the Indian team. On the other hand, in a new statement, PCB Chairman Mohsin Raza Naqvi has said that he has adopted a positive attitude towards hosting the Champions Trophy and if India has any problem then it should talk to the Pakistan Board officials.

Will hybrid model be accepted?

On one hand, India has refused to send its team to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, the topic of hybrid model has also come up a lot, but what is this hybrid model? In fact, even during the 2023 Asia Cup, Team India had refused to go to Pakistan, in such a situation the PCB was forced to accept the hybrid model, under which the matches of all other teams were held in Sri Lanka against Pakistan and the Indian team. But PCB has made its stand clear time and again that this time it is not ready to accept the hybrid model under any circumstances. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see what decision the ICC is going to take at the end of this week. Will India be ruled out of the Champions Trophy? Is the hosting of Champions Trophy going to be snatched from Pakistan? With the announcement of the schedule, answers to many such questions will be revealed.
