[Report] ICC approves the hybrid model for the Champions Trophy 2025 following an agreement between the PCB and BCCI [Post Updated #4739]

Pakistan could have pulled this same crap at the World Cup but they didn't. Because they hoped that, that gesture of goodwill would lead to India returning the favor. But clearly that was just a ruse. The BCCI never had the power to change the Indian government's stance. They were just trying to save their hide and organize the tournament with limited bumps in the road. I just hope that this is the end of Pakistan v India in future ICC tournaments and Asia Cups unless its in a knockout where they such a situation can't be helped. I certainly hope its the end of the Pakistan team travelling to India. For future tournaments in India, Pakistan's matches can be held in the UAE.

Thats your ipso facto justification.

Wasim Khan was all gung ho about making WC23 into a hybrid model.

@Savak posted that PCB was told, ICC will happy to replace Pakistan with WI in the WC23. PCB backed down and went for the money.

Same way they "abstained" in the 2014 big 3 vote.

voted against BCCI in 2017 and sued BCCI at DRC trying to sell a LOI and a binding contract.

So, no, there is no goodwill between PCB and BCCI.

There is good chance BCCI will continue to dictate terms. Pak/PCB will have to decide what is more important to them
 
Come to Canada! lol look how Pakistani’s and Indians are playing cricket together on a same team .. both nations need to learn something from this ..

here is savak's post from last year

Savak said:
Let's be clear.

The PCB had threatened boycotting the Asia Cup and even the WC.

Jay Shah responded no problem we will hold a 5 nations tournament in India and replace the Pakistani team with another team. With regards to the losses Star Sports would have faced in the abscence of three Indo Pak contests, Jay Shah responded no problem, i will invite a major team to India and help Star Sports recover the losses.

With regards to boycotting the WC, Jay Shah said Np, we will replace the Pakistani team with the WI. Good luck to the PCB trying to recoup their $16.5 million share.

Let's be brutally honest here, the PCB had no real options or cards to play with. The BCCI were kind enough to allow some matches in Pakistan which was a win for the PCB itself. The PCB is better off trying to negotiate and get things in their favour with the BCCI as the alternative is much worse

I believe the BCCI has achieved its purpose by putting panic among PCB and its fans for two weeks. Expecting them to soften up now.

Lol. Wasn't it India that tried to create a Big 3 with their former white colonial masters and posters on here were so proud of being able to finally rub shoulders on an equal footing? :ROFLMAO:

The larger point is India will take a huge hit if Ind-Pak match doesn’t happen- I can buy that. However Indian board can still get by with IPL and other series even if it is 80% drop in revenue.

What most Pakistanis have not answered is how will PCB survive a. Losing out on the India Pakistan match and b. the revenues ICC shares mostly which probably are generated by Ind-Pak game?

What’s the backup plan?

Good chance you will not get the answer. Chest thumping and being patriotic and hyper nationalistic is ok but there is never a measured analysis of the situation which we see many times. Till some decision is taken I beleive we will be going in circles here.

I'm sure PCB and cricket in general will survive in Pakistan. As you may remember, the country had no touring teams for over a decade and it survived.
Same applies to this.

Big 3 were the 3 highest revenue earners.

Then India realised that there's only a Big One that's India.

Rest all are just different versions of smalls.

You still received ICC revenue share during that decade.

Your home series rights still fetched similar amounts.

You now spend millions on security. You then spent millions on rents etc.

So what's your point?

It's not even the same ruling govt, but anyway your position seems to be that Pakistan is a permanent enemy. Is that the gist of it?
 
Ironic since it is on India's side where the govt. is stepping in to rule which games India can play and where. But look you have made your position clear. Pakistan is a permanent enemy and India should not be playing cricket with an enemy. Your govt should also hold a consistent policy if you believe this to be true.

You have more stakes with Pak government as an overseas Pakistani so why don’t you hold them accountable. I know you are not much a reader of current affairs in Pakistan except maybe the odd 5th page news from times of India of some petty crime but I would assume, lot of gaps in the decision making of Pak establishment in a lot of policies including cricket. Shouldn’t you take up with them because as far as I know BCCI is doing well for themselves in all benchmarks.
 

Amid India vs Pakistan Champions Trophy Stand-Off, ICC Dealt Major Legal Threat​


The future of the Champions Trophy 2025 is uncertain. There has been no progress since the time the BCCI informed the International Cricket Council (ICC) that it will not be sending the Indian cricket to Pakistan, the designated hosts, for the Champions Trophy. After that announcement, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sought a written explanation from the ICC about the status of the participation of various teams. It also said that a hybrid model (where some matches will be played at a neutral venue) is not acceptable to it.

In the midst of this, a report in Cricket Pakistan has claimed that the announcement of the Champions Trophy schedule has been halted due to the current stand-off. While India does not want to travel the Pakistan, the latter does not want to play any match in a neutral venue.

Quoting sources, a report in the publication has said that broadcasters and commercial partners are "adamant" on an India vs Pakistan match in the Champions Trophy schedule. The report also claimed that broadcasters have hinted on taking a legal action if the Champions Trophy does not have an India vs Pakistan match.

With India unwilling to send its team across the border over security concerns, the onus is on the ICC to help the boards establish a middle ground. After PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi reiterated his stance of not accepting the hybrid model, it has been reported that pressure is being put on Pakistan from back channels to soften its approach.

According to multiple reports, certain top cricket administrators in the ICC have reached out to the PCB, asking to accept the hybrid model as the stubborn stance on the matter could lead to huge financial implications.

It isn't a secret that Indian cricket remains the revenue-driving force in the international spectrum. If India don't participate in the ICC Champions Trophy, the tournament becomes a loss-making venture. The ICC is also likely to announce the Champions Trophy schedule in the coming days.

I don't suppose the ICC is affected much either way. If the broadcasting deal loses value either because the India-Pakistan game doesn't happen or India/Pakistan drops out, all the boards will have to take the burden. ICC will still take it's fat cut.

Why is India not facing any pressure to ease up on its stance? Why is all the focus and pressure always on Pakistan?

Pakistan should only agree to a hybrid model if they get to co-host all the tournaments India is hosting, and even then, it should be under a hybrid model.

Modi following Indians are truly delusional. They are the most insecure and mentally affected people you can come across. They have a strong complex against Pakistan.

This is partly because they struggle to accept what they are when they look in the mirror or outside of their window.

Report: Broadcasters Threaten Legal Action Against ICC If India vs Pakistan Is Excluded From Champions Trophy 2025​


Amidst the ongoing row between BCCI and PCB over the Champions Trophy 2025, a new report has emerged which has threatened of a legal action against ICC.​


As the Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to be hosted in Pakistan, tussle between the PCB and the BCCI is still on. There has been no progress in the issue after the BCCI refused to travel to the neighbouring country to play the tournament. The world’s richest cricket board wants the tournament to be held under the hybrid and wills that Team India’s matches shall be shifted to any other country. On the other hand, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are firm with their stance of hosting the tournament in Pakistan itself.

Amidst all the chaos, a report from Cricket Pakistan has claimed that the schedule of the Champions Trophy 2025 has been halted due to the current row between India and Pakistan. The report adds that the broadcasters and commercial partners are pretty much ‘stubborn’ on the thought of having the India vs Pakistan match in the Champions Trophy 2025 schedule which doesn’t look possible in the current scenario. The report states that if no India vs Pakistan match is included in the Champions Trophy 2025 schedule then the broadcasters and commercial partners can take a legal action against the ICC.

A) CT will be held without India
B) CT will follow a hybrid model
C) Both don't back off and ICC take the heat from sponsors

That is true. And this is exactly why we want the CT to happen in Pakistan. Unlike the chest thumping "pakistani fans" here who do not even live in Pakistan, the Pakistani public deserve their own team to play a global tournament in front of them. Also, the Pakistani players seem a well behaving bunch. They deserve to showcase their talent there on their home soil.

However, most likely the broadcasters will force ICC to go for a hybrid model.

BCCI doesn’t have a strategic plan beyond cricket. GoI is using it as a stick to impose isolation, the same way RSA was isolated. Reduced Pakistan interest in cricket results in yet another avenue to revenue generation shutting down. It bodes well for Indian strategic interests.

It's a tricky question to answer because the PCB doesn't reveal specific numbers unlike other cricket boards. We can make some deductions though. Here's the PCB's revenue statement from FY'23 (not the current year).
1732116076982.png

Essentially revenue was roughly derived from 4 sources - $20m from the ICC, $14m from domestic TV rights & $13m from PSL and the rest from stuff like interest.

ICC revenue this year should increase hugely to $35m, PSL income should mostly stay stable but from all reports, the PCB has been struggling hugely to sell domestic TV rights. I expect ICC revenue share will end up being half of PCB's income this year up from a third last year.

You are right that people in Pakistan are losing interest in cricket, but if anything it's because of Indian control of ICC that has happened. No one is interested in competing where there is bias stacked against you.

Pakistan itself should have built a more sustainable domestic cricket model, but that has nothing to do with India or BCCI and is another matter for another thread.
 
Man 22 pages of discussion and both side not budging. I have got an idea:

India should play all its league games (except the Pak one) in Mohali.

For Pakistan game, travel to Lahore in the morning from Amritsar, play the game and return in the evening. They can take some private plane or helicopter.

Do the same for semi and final game if we qualify.

@Devadwal this works for you?

This is not a Gully mohallah tournament.

So my answer" Absolutely Not"

Three solutions -

Either hybrid model (99% likely )

Entire CT in pakistan without india

Entire CT outside pakistan with or without pakistan

One set of of group games in Mohali, one set of group games in Lahore.

Final in Karachi

Why do you want Pakistan to lose the hosting of so many matches?

Man 22 pages of discussion and both side not budging. I have got an idea:

India should play all its league games (except the Pak one) in Mohali.

For Pakistan game, travel to Lahore in the morning from Amritsar, play the game and return in the evening. They can take some private plane or helicopter.

Do the same for semi and final game if we qualify.

@Devadwal this works for you?

No. Won't happen.
 
Apparently the Indian Government is now under pressure to release the players for a champions trophy. We have all heard this that India broadcasting is more than 80% of ICC revenue.

But guess what, the Indian broadcaster that has already paid for the rights is Star. Star is currently in the midst of a merger with Viacom - owned by none other than our prime ministers best friend - Mukesh Ambani. He will lose truckloads of money if India doesn't play and is apparently putting pressure on the govt.

Loss would be a drop in the bucket of $200 billion behemoth that is Reliance, but it could potentially derail the merger, which has far greater implications for Reliance's strategy and ambitions in content and media space

BCCI has apparently also again expressed concerns to ICC after the fire at Mehran hotel yesterday leading to cancelling of cricket tournament
