ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Schedule Announcement Highlights: PCB and BCCI Face Off On Hybrid Model

"The current situation is that PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has said that it will only accept hosting the Champions Trophy on a hybrid model if the board agrees that in future all ICC events will be on same system with Pakistan not going to India to play matches," a PCB source said to PTI.

According to a senior PCB source who spoke to PTI, the Board is also requesting a larger portion of the yearly revenue cycle in exchange for accepting the model that would see India play its fair number of matches, including the match against Pakistan in Dubai, because of security concerns. In February or March, the Champions Trophy will take place. 

The PCB, which had previously threatened to boycott the competition if its hosting rights were not fully granted and India's demand for a neutral venue was not met, is caving in with the proposal.
