The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 faces uncertainty as Team India has declined to travel to Pakistan for the event, while Pakistan Cricket Board remains firm on hosting them on home soil. The ICC has yet to release Champions Trophy 2025 schedule, further complicating matters.

Pakistan has rejected ICC's proposed hybrid model for the Champions Trophy 2025. Amid this BCCI vs PCB standoff, a fresh update regarding the tournament has surfaced.

As per reports, the ongoing disagreement between BCCI and PCB over ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has led ICC to call an emergency virtual meeting on November 26. All ICC Board members are expected to participate in the meeting, which seeks to resolve the deadlock.

BCCI has refused to send the Indian team to Pakistan, while PCB remains steadfast in rejecting the proposed hybrid model. The ICC is exploring new strategies to mediate the dispute and ensure smooth conduct of the tournament.

As per reports, ICC previously cautioned Pakistan against making controversial statements about India and reiterated that no ICC tournament can proceed without Team India's participation.

Amid the ongoing standoff, ICC is likely to propose a hybrid model to PCB, potentially allowing India to play all its matches in UAE.

Citing security concerns, Team India has consistently declined to tour Pakistan, a stance it maintained during Asia Cup 2023. As a result, a hybrid model was implemented, with India's matches held outside Pakistan. Notably, India has not toured Pakistan in 16 years.

The Champions Trophy 2025 is likely to be relocated if PCB rejects the proposed hybrid model. Should this occur, UAE and India are leading contenders to secure the hosting rights. However, in such a scenario, PCB might withdraw from the tournament entirely.
