No picture has been released yet for Champions Trophy 2025. There was a dispute going on between India and Pakistan Cricket Board regarding this tournament for a long time, but it has not been resolved.
BCCI wants to play the tournament on hybrid model, after which PCB also put some conditions before ICC to accept this formula. One of these conditions was that in future, Pakistan would play tournaments organized by India on hybrid mode. Now a big update has come on this condition.
BCCI gave a big blow to Pakistan!
Some recent reports have claimed that an agreement has been reached to organize next year’s Champions Trophy in a hybrid model, under which India will play its matches in Dubai. Pakistan Cricket Board had put some conditions before ICC in exchange for the hybrid model. According to which hybrid model will be used in ICC tournaments till 2027. Meanwhile, India will jointly host the Women’s ODI World Cup and the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup with Sri Lanka in October next year. But now news has come out that the 2026 T20 World Cup will not be played completely on the hybrid model.
According to Pakistani media reports, BCCI is ready to host the group matches of Pakistan cricket team in T20 World Cup 2026 in Sri Lanka, but no bid from Pakistan will be accepted for the semi-final and final matches. That means BCCI will not organize the semi-final and final matches of the 2026 T20 World Cup outside India, in such a situation, if the Pakistan team reaches the semi-finals and final, then it will have to tour India under any circumstances.
Team India can play all the matches in Dubai
Let us tell you that relations between India and Pakistan have not been good for a long time, due to which the Indian team does not tour this country. Matches are played between India and Pakistan only during ICC tournaments and Asia Cup. For this reason BCCI does not want to send its team to Pakistan. In such a situation, if the Champions Trophy 2025 is organized on the hybrid model, then Team India can play all its matches in Dubai. Which will also include semi-final and final matches. That means the Indian team will not go to Pakistan for even a single match.
