ICC: Pakistan will refrain from visiting India for any ACC or ICC events
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is said to have tentatively agreed to stage the 2025 Champions Trophy utilizing a hybrid model, allowing India to compete in Dubai.
ICC informal meeting
ICC: The choice to adopt a hybrid model for hosting the ICC Champions Trophy was primarily agreed upon during an unofficial gathering at the ICC headquarters in Dubai on Thursday, which was attended by the new ICC President Jay Shah along with the Board of Directors, including delegates from Pakistan. All parties have come to a preliminary agreement that the 2025 Champions Trophy will take place in the UAE and Pakistan, with India conducting its matches in Dubai. “It’s a mutually beneficial scenario for all parties involved,” an ICC source as stating.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), in response, has requested that the same hybrid model should be utilized for all ICC and ACC tournaments and is anticipated to avoid traveling to India until 2027.
Pakistan will not travel to India
Pakistan will refrain from visiting India for any ACC or ICC events until 2027. India is set to host the Asia Cup 2025, the Women’s T20 World Cup 2025, and the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. At present, the Men in Green are not anticipated to participate in any games on Indian territory during these tournaments. “At the 2026 men’s T20 World Cup, Pakistan will compete in matches held in Sri Lanka.” “The compensation requested by PCB for the Champions Trophy hybrid model is still being evaluated,” an ICC source as stating.
