ICC to decide the future of Champions Trophy 2025 in a crucial meeting today

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has proposed a hybrid model for the event, suggesting that some matches be held at neutral venues instead of in Pakistan. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has firmly rejected this proposal, insisting that the tournament should be held entirely in Pakistan as originally planned.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi presented Pakistan’s stance at the meeting, emphasising the country’s position on hosting the event as per the initial agreement. Naqvi’s presentation will highlight the importance of maintaining Pakistan’s readiness to host the Champions Trophy in 2025.

The ICC Board comprises representatives from the 12 full member countries, three representatives from associate members, an independent director, the ICC chairman, and the CEO. This diverse group will determine the tournament’s format and location.
