BCCI-PCB hybrid model may get ICC nod on Saturday

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: With 9 weeks to go for the 2025 Champions Trophy’s proposed February 19 start, the International Cricket Council is expected to finalise on Saturday that the tournament will be played in a hybrid model. The two boards have reached an understanding that in return for India’s Champions Trophy matches to be moved out of Pakistan to a neutral venue, Pakistan’s matches in the 2026 T20 World Cup be staged in Sri Lanka, the co-hosts with India. While one semi-final and final of the Champions Trophy will also move to the UAE as a provision for India qualifying, the broadcasters are in no mood to move the semi-finals and the finals of the 2026 T20 World Cup out of India, regardless of Pakistan’s qualification for the same. Women’s ICC events are staged with a smaller budget and a hybrid model may prove too expensive.
