Champions Trophy 2025: Pakistan reportedly holds backchannel talks on Hybrid Model impasse, seeks clarity from ICC
FirstpostThere has been no progress recently on the Champions Trophy 2025 impasse with BCCI refusing to send Team India to Pakistan while PCB is not ready to accept the Hybrid Model. While the Pakistan Cricket Board is looking for more clarity on the Champions Trophy 2025 from the International Cricket Council, efforts are also being made to convince Pakistan for a Hybrid Model that will help in accommodating Team India into the tournament without any hiccups. The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy has been in limbo since the Board of Control for Cricket in India decided they would not send Team India to Pakistan for the tournament. Naqvi also took a firm stance during his media interaction, stating that “Pakistan’s respect comes first and foremost" when asked whether the Champions Trophy would be held under the hybrid model or outside the country.
