The International Cricket Council (ICC) can announce the schedule of the 2025 Champions Trophy today. The schedule of this global tournament was awaited for the last several days. Let us tell you that the 2025 Champions Trophy will start from 19 February 2025, while the final match of the tournament will be played on 9 March.
Clash between BCCI and PCB!
Let us tell you that Pakistan is organizing the Champions Trophy. Pakistan had sent the draft schedule for this tournament to ICC about three months ago. Pakistan had organized a match against India in Lahore, but India refused to send Team India to Pakistan due to security reasons. After this, there was tension between BCCI and PCB for a long time.
India introduced a hybrid model
India offered a hybrid model for the Champions Trophy, but Pakistan initially rejected it. However, a few days ago the PCB had approved the hybrid model with some conditions. The biggest demand among these was to come to India for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Pakistan bowed down to India’s insistence
After an agreement between BCCI and PCB, it was decided that the 2025 Champions Trophy matches will be played in Pakistan and Dubai under the hybrid model. Team India’s matches in the tournament will be held in Dubai. Pakistan will host 10 matches of the Champions Trophy. If the Indian team reaches the semi-finals and finals, its knockout matches will also be played in Dubai. If Team India gets eliminated before the knockout stage then the semi-finals and final will be held in Lahore and Rawalpindi.
The program will be announced today
Since then everyone is waiting for the complete schedule. Hopefully this wait will end today. Let us tell you that for the last several days it is being claimed in media reports that the schedule will be announced today, but ICC has not done so. Now it remains to be seen whether ICC announces the schedule today or not.
