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.

Jay Shah has taken charge as the ICC Chair and he'll be attending the ICC meeting today where the fate of Champions Trophy 2025 is likely to be decided.

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.

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.

Before being postponed to Saturday, the brief meeting took place for about 20 minutes and ended with no consensus on the venue of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

According to a report by ESPNcricinfo, the PCB is ready to accept a hybrid model for the Champions Trophy, provided they get a written agreement from the ICC and the BCCI ensuring similar arrangements for Pakistan in future ICC events hosted by India.

As of now, there has been no response from the BCCI but indications are that the Indian cricket board is not willing to accept adopting a hybrid model for their tournaments, citing no security issues in India.
