With reports suggesting that Pakistan has agreed to host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in a hybrid model, both India and Pakistan will participate in the upcoming tournament. The CT 2025 is scheduled to be held in March in Pakistan; however, India requested their matches be held outside Pakistan as they have refused to travel to the neighboring country. In a recent ICC meeting for the tournament, the issue has reportedly been resolved, with both countries agreeing to the hybrid model.
