ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has not been finalized yet. It was expected that this would be discussed in the ICC meeting to be held today i.e. December 5th and whatever easy way would be decided, it could not happen. The new ICC Chairman Jai Shah took charge today and his first day after assuming office was at the ICC office. It was believed that Jai Shah would resolve the issue on the very first day, but that could not happen.
The Champions Trophy is scheduled to be held in February
The Champions Trophy is scheduled to be held in February next year. Although it is organized by PCB i.e. Pakistan Cricket Board, but BCCI has refused to send Team India there. BCCI says there is a security issue for Indian players in Pakistan, so the team cannot be sent. The BCCI said that all India’s matches should be played at other venues. Although at first he was not even ready for Pakistan. But later he accepted this. It is said that the Pakistan Cricket Board has now agreed to a hybrid model, but wants to name it something else instead of Hybrid.
PCB is very demanding
Not only this, Pakistan Cricket Board is also asking for something else, so that its honor is preserved, ICC and BCCI are not ready for this. The Pakistan Cricket Board also wants the series involving India, Pakistan and a third team to be held at a neutral venue. However, no consensus has been reached regarding this yet. PCB has so far deposited half of the weapons, but the rest will be deposited soon.
Now a decision is likely to be taken in the meeting to be held on 7th December.
Meanwhile it is learned that today was Jai Shah’s first day so he took charge and also met other officials. Information has been received that now the second meeting of ICC will be held on December 7 i.e. Saturday, in which the final decision can be taken. However, it is said that the Champions Trophy schedule is almost ready. It will also be announced by ICC after solving the whole matter. However, you may have to wait for a few days for this.
