If Pakistan Declines, This Country Could Host the Champions Trophy 2025
Patiala, 12 November (Sports Desk)
A Major Revelation
The Champions Trophy 2025 is making headlines with frequent updates. While the ICC has initially awarded the hosting rights to Pakistan, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reluctant to send the Indian team to Pakistan due to security concerns. As a result, the ICC has proposed a hybrid model to Pakistan. However, the PCB has yet to respond.
Pakistan’s Non-Committal Response According to a PTI report, if the PCB is unwilling to host the Champions Trophy, the tournament will be conducted under a hybrid model. The Indian team could play all their matches in the UAE, with the final potentially being held in Dubai. The ICC has already informed the Pakistan Cricket Board about this possibility. However, PCB Chief Mohsin Khan has not yet responded. see this link also…..1574 Players Registered for IPL 2025 Auction
South Africa as a Potential Host If Pakistan rejects the ICC’s proposal for a hybrid model and withdraws from hosting the tournament, the ICC might consider awarding the hosting rights to South Africa. South Africa has previously hosted several ICC tournaments and is also set to host the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Tournament Details The Champions Trophy will feature a total of 8 teams, including India, Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, New Zealand, Pakistan, and South Africa. These teams will be divided into two groups.
Key Points:
- The ICC has proposed a hybrid model for the Champions Trophy 2025 due to security concerns raised by the BCCI.
- If Pakistan declines to host the tournament, South Africa is a potential alternative.
- The tournament will feature 8 teams divided into two groups.
In essence, the future of the Champions Trophy 2025 hinges on Pakistan’s decision regarding the hybrid model. If they decline, the tournament could be shifted to South Africa.
