The Pakistan Cricket Board has finalised Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi as the venues for the Champions Trophy 2025. They continued insisting that the tournament will stay in the country despite the talks of a hybrid model being under consideration for India`s participation.

The last season of the Champions Trophy was held in the year 2017 in England and is expected to come into action in February-March next year. The talks have been around the Indian cricket team`s participation. If the "Men in Blue" does not get clearance from the government, the International Cricket Council could use the hybrid model to ensure Team India`s participation.
