The International Cricket Council (ICC) has given its nod to a hybrid model for the Champions Trophy 2025, resolving the long-standing deadlock between Pakistan and India over the tournament's hosting. According to the approved model, Pakistan will host group stage matches, while a neutral venue will be used for the India-Pakistan game. This decision comes after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) gave its approval to the fusion model, which entails that India will play matches at neutral venues in Pakistan, while Pakistan will do the same in India for future tournaments. The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to take place in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9, 2025. The development marks a significant breakthrough in Indo-Pak cricket relations, with the two nations set to face each other in a high-profile match at a neutral venue in Pakistan. The decision is expected to boost cricketing ties between the two countries, which have been strained in recent years due to political tensions.
