The fate of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy is now shrouded in uncertainty following India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the prestigious tournament.

Scheduled to be held in Pakistan next year, the Champions Trophy had already been at the center of discussions due to political tensions between the two neighboring countries. In light of India’s stance, a proposal to host the tournament under a 'hybrid model' has been discussed. This would allow some matches to be played in neutral venues. Still, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has set certain conditions for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to accept this model.
