Champions Trophy 2025: A final decision on the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has not been taken yet. Today, the important meeting of the ICC on 5 December was expected to clarify the situation regarding the future of the event. The new chairman Jay Shah took charge today and his first day was full of engagements in the ICC office. However, despite all the speculations, a concrete decision could not be taken on this matter.

The event is proposed in February 2025

The Champions Trophy is scheduled to be held in February 2025. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was given its hosting. But due to political and security issues between India and Pakistan, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has refused to send its team to Pakistan. The BCCI made its demand clear and said that India's matches should be played at a neutral venue.

PCB agrees to hybrid model

Earlier the PCB had rejected this demand, but when the pressure increased, it accepted the hybrid model. However, the PCB wants to present it by some other name instead of calling it a "hybrid model" so that its reputation is not tarnished.

Additional demands of PCB

The PCB has also put forward some other conditions, which include a proposal to organize a series between India, Pakistan and a third team at a neutral venue. But there has been no agreement on this from the ICC and BCCI. It is believed that the PCB may withdraw some of its demands, but it wants to avoid showing its position as weak.

Decision expected in December 7 meeting

Jay Shah met officials on his first day taking over the administrative charge. In the next phase, the ICC meeting will be held on December 7, in which a final decision is expected to be taken on the Champions Trophy. According to reports, the schedule of the tournament is almost ready and will be made public as soon as the dispute is resolved.

What will be the solution?

The future of the Champions Trophy 2025 is stuck in the shadow of these controversies. The next meeting of the ICC under the leadership of Jai Shah will decide the direction of where and how the tournament will be held. Cricket fans around the world are keeping an eye on this decision.
