Now a similar controversy has again emerged. With Pakistan set to host the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, India is demanding a neutral venue for the tournament. The question for the ICC is whether it will accommodate India’s demand and deprive Pakistan of its full hosting rights or conduct the tournament in Pakistan without India’s participation.

Uncertainty surrounds the 2025 Champions Trophy as tensions between India and Pakistan persist, prompting the ICC to hold an emergency meeting on November 26 to address critical issues threatening the tournament's execution.

An ICC delegation is expected to visit Pakistan soon in a crucial step in preparations for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has sought clarification from the sport's governing International Cricket Council (ICC) following India's refusal to travel across the border for next year's Champions Trophy,

Both the BCCI and the PCB will be in attendance for the meeting that will be taking place virtually, and the ICC is likely to make a final decision on the fate of the tournament that returns to action after an eight-year absence.

There is a contingency plan in place if Pakistan Cricket Board refuses to adopt the hybrid model for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Former wicketkeeper Rashid Latif’s radical suggestion comes at a time when the fate of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy hangs precariously in balance following India’s refusal to visit Pakistan for the tournament.
