Former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram has ardently supported Pakistan’s hosting of the majority of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 matches

Expressing his thoughts on the Samaa TV programme, “Zor Ka Jor,” Hussaini said, “I believe that the Champions Trophy will be held and the India-Pakistan match will also happen. Pakistan will host the mega-event.

Last week, the ICC reached a consensus to conduct the eight-team competition in a hybrid model, allowing India to play its share of matches in Dubai while agreeing "in principle" to a similar arrangement in multi-lateral events till 2027.

The controversy surrounding Champions Trophy 2025 is far from over and no decision has been taken over the scheduling of the competition yet.

Just when everyone thought that the 2025 Champions Trophy saga was over with hosts Pakistan agreeing on a hybrid model for the tournament, a new report has claimed that no consensus has been reached over the tournament schedule,

Former Pakistan cricket team captain Rashid Latif made a mammoth statement regarding the Champions Trophy 2025 as he said that the tournament should not happen anymore.

The deadlock relating to the ICC Champions Trophy hosting continues as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not in full agreement with the hybrid model. The debate apparently continues on the hosting of the ICC events even though the earlier reports suggested a truce on the hybrid model with India to play their matches in the UAE.

Pakistan will incur huge financial losses, attract lawsuits and even an international boycott if they withdraw from Champions Trophy 2025.

PCB's ICC Champions Trophy participation in jeopardy amid Hybrid Model disputes. Financial and legal implications loom large.
