ICC to Decide Champions Trophy 2025 Venue in November 29 Meeting

Tensions persist as India refuses to play in Pakistan, prompting ICC to propose a hybrid model with financial incentives for resolution.

The ICC board will meet virtually on November 29 to finalize the venue and schedule for the Champions Trophy 2025, set to take place in February-March next year.
India has refused to play in Pakistan due to ongoing political tensions, leading to a delay in the tournament's schedule announcement.
The BCCI has proposed a hybrid model where India's matches would be played in the UAE, but the PCB has strongly opposed this approach.
The ICC is reportedly offering additional financial incentives to persuade the PCB to accept the hybrid model, though the PCB remains firm on hosting the event entirely in Pakistan.
The Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to begin on February 19, with Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi identified as potential venues in Pakistan.
