Live MintChampions Trophy 2025: The International Cricket Council on December 13 approved the hybrid model for the Champions Trophy 2025, as both the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the Pakistan Cricket Board agreed to host the matches in Pakistan and Dubai, India Today reported. Earlier, on December 4, the BCCI reportedly rejected Pakistan's ‘condition’ for ICC events hosted in India to follow the same ‘hybrid model’ proposed by the Pakistan Cricket Board. Scheduled dates: According to the draft schedule, the Champions Trophy 2025 may take place between February 19 to March 9, with eight teams divided into two groups. The Champions Trophy 2025 follows the same approach as the Men's 50-over Asia Cup 2023 when India did not travel to the neighbouring country despite Pakistan hosting the matches.
