India won’t travel to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025, BCCI informs ICC; ‘hybrid’ format to be followed: Report

Live Mint  

The BCCI has reportedly informed the ICC that Team India will not travel to Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy in 2025, forcing the International Cricket Council to consider a ‘hybrid’ model for the tournament. Meanwhile, another report from news agency PTI suggests that the ICC is now contemplating conducting the tournament in a ‘hybrid’ format, with India's matches being held in Dubai. However, the BCCI had also refused to send their team to Asia Cup in Pakistan last year while PCB did give the green light for Pakistan team to travel to India for last year's ODI World Cup 2023. PCB Chairman denies any talks of Hybrid model: The new reports come just days after Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi claimed that no discussions were held with BCCI or ICC about adopting a hybrid model for Champions Trophy.
