Champions Trophy 2025, ICC Meeting LIVE Updates: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Saturday reportedly agreed to holding the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy in a hybrid model, but on one condition. The PCB said that if the Champions Trophy is held in a hybrid model, then the ICC will have to follow the same policy in all future global tournaments till 2031.
This means that Pakistan could ask for a hybrid model should they travel to India for an ICC tournament. The PCB also demanded for a greater share of the revenue from the ICC if they are to accept the hybrid model for holding next year’s eight-team tournament. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi had met the Emirates Cricket Board General Secretary Mubashir Usmani on Saturday in Dubai, where they held talks on a possible hybrid model.
It has been reported that the marquee India vs Pakistan clash could take place in Dubai if the hybrid model is implemented. “We will do what’s best for cricket. It’s definitely not a hybrid formula, but if a new formula is formed, it will be an equal one,” Naqvi told reporters on Saturday. “We will not allow one-sided decisions […] decisions should be made based on equality," he added.
