Introducing the new ICC chairman will be the bigger priority in this meeting rather than the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.

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.

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.

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.
