The ICC Champions Trophy is the main topic of discussion right now, with many developments coming in. After India’s reluctance to travel to Pakistan, the conversation around the venue has gained even more attention, especially with less than 90 days left and still many details to finalize. However, it now seems that changes are on the way. We are moving towards a hybrid model, which means some matches, especially India’s games, will be moved to other venues, most likely the UAE, instead of being played in Pakistan.
When India concluded that they would not go to Pakistan, many believed they might pull out of the tournament entirely. PCB was also not ready to change its stance, and there were even reports suggesting that Sri Lanka could replace India in the 2025 Champions Trophy. But now, as we approach a conclusion, let’s see which teams have qualified for the Champions Trophy 2025.
Teams qualified for ICC Champions Trophy 2025
| Means of Qualification | Date | Teams Qualified |
| Host nation | 16 November 2021 | Pakistan |
| 2023 Cricket World Cup (Top 7 teams from the tournament excluding host) | 5 October – 19 November 2023 | Afghanistan Australia Bangladesh England India New Zealand South Africa |
Will ICC Champions Trophy be held in a Hybrid Model?
Many reports indicate that the ICC is all set for a hybrid model. Initially, it was supposed to be held fully in Pakistan, but after reluctance from India, the chances are that matches will be played across Pakistan and Dubai, following an agreement between the BCCI and PCB.
