As former BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has taken the chair at the International Cricket Council (ICC), everyone is awaiting the next ICC meeting to address the scheduling issue of the Champions Trophy.
The schedule for the 2025 Champions Trophy is yet to be finalized, with uncertainty surrounding the India-Pakistan matches. According to reports, Pakistan has accepted the hybrid model, but they have added a condition that they will also demand the same for any tournament held in India. With India having an advantage, as an Indian chairs the ICC meetings, it will be interesting to see what comes out of the next meeting.
When is the next ICC meeting regarding Champions Trophy 2025?
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is expected to convene an emergency board meeting on 5 December, after the previous meeting scheduled for Friday was canceled just 15 minutes after it began.
What can be discussed in the ICC meeting?
It is anticipated that the meeting will focus on resolving the CT 2025 issue, with venues being finalized in a way that could be accepted by both India and Pakistan, leading to a resolution. However, with both parties being rigid in their stance, the matter remains difficult to resolve.
Which country is hosting ICC Champions Trophy?
The Champions Trophy will be hosted by Pakistan, likely between 19 February and 9 March 2025. Pakistan has decided on three venues for CT 2025: Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Karachi. However, with India not agreeing to travel to Pakistan, the final schedule is still not ready, and it’s unclear where the India-Pakistan clash will take place.
