BCCI Refuses to Travel to Pakistan for Champions Trophy, Proposes Neutral Venue

The Pakistan Cricket Board remains unaware of any formal communication from India, rejecting a hybrid model for the tournament.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has informed the ICC of its decision not to play matches in Pakistan for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
India proposes playing its matches in Dubai, following a similar model used during the 2023 Asia Cup.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi denies receiving any formal communication from the BCCI regarding India's decision.
Naqvi insists that the Champions Trophy will proceed in Pakistan as planned, with no acceptance of a hybrid model.
Political tensions have prevented bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan since 2008, with matches only occurring in multi-team events.
