KHELO PAKISTAN EXCLUSIVE:
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have reached a consensus on using a hybrid model for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This decision comes after prolonged discussions and ICC-mediated negotiations, ensuring the tournament proceeds smoothly amidst political constraints.
PCB and BCCI Agree on ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Hybrid Model
The PCB has emphasized that the hybrid model for the Champions Trophy 2025 must be upheld in future ICC tournaments. This mutual understanding eases India’s concerns regarding travel to Pakistan while ensuring fairness for both teams.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said, “The hybrid model is essential for maintaining balance and security in international cricket.”
ICC Meeting Delayed Over Hybrid Model Talks
The ICC has postponed its meeting twice due to ongoing discussions between BCCI and PCB regarding the hybrid model for Champions Trophy 2025. The final decision will likely come after the UAE’s national holiday.
PCB Eyes Bigger Share in ICC Revenue
