The much-anticipated schedule for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy could be finalized during 5 December’s International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting, according to reports. All eyes will be on what model is accepted by the ICC as both PCB and BCCI are not ready on a single model.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has agreed to host the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy under a hybrid model, but with a significant condition attached. According to an ESPNcricinfo report, PCB has offered to consider a hybrid model but only if there is a concrete written agreement allowing Pakistan the same option when a global tournament is held in

BCCI has rejected PCB’s request for a ’hybrid model’ for ICC events in India. Citing security concerns, the BCCI will not send its team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Talks continue among ICC,

The fate of the 2025 Champions Trophy continues to hang in the balance with the ICC yet to arrive at a solution to break the deadlock between PCB and BCCI over the tournament’s venue and schedule.

India are scheduled to host multiple ICC events in the next decade, including the Women's ODI World Cup 2025 and the T20 World Cup in 2026 jointly with Sri Lanka. The 2029 Champions Trophy and 2031 ODI World Cup are also scheduled to be held in India.

With Pakistan seeking to host their first major ICC tournament in nearly three decades, the ICC Board’s meeting will determine the schedule of the tournament, indicating where each team will play and likely also reserving a neutral venue.

The PCB has strongly rejected reports suggesting that Pakistan had "surrendered" in its discussions with the ICC over the Champions Trophy.

There is still uncertainty over hosting the Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan next year. If the Champions Trophy is held in a hybrid model, Pakistan has suggested that all future ICC events in India should also be held in the same model.

The deadlock between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy persists, leading the ICC to reconvene a board meeting on December 5.
