Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam
The Champions Trophy 2025 will be organized on Pakistani soil, but the BCCI has refused to send the team to Pakistan. India will only be able to play in the Champions Trophy. When it is carried out according to the hybrid model or the entire tournament is moved to another country. But the Pakistan Cricket Board has completely rejected the hybrid model. The PCB rejected reports that its officials will hold a virtual meeting with their ICC and BCCI counterparts on November 26 to resolve the uncertainty over the Champions Trophy. The announcement of the tournament schedule is being delayed after the BCCI expressed its inability to send the Indian team to Pakistan for the tournament.
PCB denied that the meeting had taken place
A reliable PCB source told PTI that we have not received any information from the ICC about any meeting between us, the BCCI and the ICC. He also said that the PCB is yet to receive any response from the ICC to the email it sent to the ICC asking the reasons for the reluctance to send the Indian team to the neighboring country. However, an ICC source clarified that an internal meeting could be held on Tuesday to find a solution to this complex issue.
Voting may be held for the Champions Trophy
He revealed that this is a virtual meeting of the members of the executive board to resolve once and for all the issue of scheduling the Champions Trophy. This meeting has been called because the broadcasters of the program are putting a lot of pressure on the ICC to end the program. There is a possibility of a vote on what to do and whether the event should be held in Pakistan, moved to that country or adopted the “hybrid model” suggested by the BCCI in which India will play its matches in the United Arab Emirates. I will play.
The official admitted that this time too the PCB has taken a tough stance and is not willing to back down from its stance of hosting the Champions Trophy in Pakistan as they have no problem hosting any team. The source said the PCB also made it clear that even if the “hybrid model” is adopted, it will not play its group match against India in Dubai. He said the Executive Board has suggested keeping Pakistan and India in separate groups, but broadcasters are not willing to accept it due to lack of revenue.
