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

[Local.Dada]

Don't matter pakistan vs India won't be in India

That’s good. Too much security nuisance. Crowd/gate fees is a drop in the ocean when it comes to overall revenues.

 

[emranabbas]

Tissue le lo

 

[Rajdeep]

And using the Indian narrative:

These are ICC events, not some bilateral Paytem trophy. India's job is to host the event. ICC will decide the venues.

I am simply amazed by the naivety of you guys. After so many events, you still need prove that ICC is under BCCIs pockets? Infact, from tomorrow Jay Shah will be ICC head. If you really think ICC will arm twist BCCI to organize the events in India in a hybrid model then good luck to you.

 

[Mesozoic]

2/3 tournaments are already on sharing basis with Bangladesh/Srilanka anyways. Thoda to research kar lo bhai.

Guy is coping hard..he's probably weeping right now..

Naqvi , like all other chairmans before him has ended up only giving a lollypop to these poor loudmouths.

 

[emranabbas]

Imagine India reaching the finals vs Pakistan and not able to play in their home country

 

[Cover Drive Six]

At least some fans here are showing resistance and doing Bhangra since the last few days, but this Naqvi guy melted down so quickly and accepted the Hybrid Model.

 

[Rajdeep]

It's victory for pakistan when india also has to play all their tournaments in hybrid model. Pakistan has only gained but its a loss for India.

Thank you for opening our eyes. Finally after reading this post of yours, we are convinced it is a massive victory for Pakistan. Congrats to you mate.

 

[Technics 1210]

Let this be a lesson for all mankind.

You don't need guns, rockets, tanks to hurt a nation. Take a leaf out of PCB's book - call a news conference and publicly reject India.

They are coping. It’s ok. Appreciate the positivity and positive spin.

If this is considered a “win” for PCB and our bros are happy about it. I hate being a spoiler. I will also be part of the celebrations as a PP member and a well wisher of Pak cricket.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Imagination is what you guys have been doing all these years after every PCB bravado statement and U-turn; keep going and keep dreaming.

It's like deja vu..

Weren't their similar "agreements" before Asia cup 2023 where people were saying BCCI agreed to play pak world cup games in Bangladesh in exchange of Asia cup hybrid model? How did that end up?

Can't believe these guys are getting fooled twice lmao.

 

[Technics 1210]

Imagine India reaching the finals vs Pakistan and not able to play in their home country

Even if India do reach a final, they still can't win at home!

 

[emranabbas]

By the way hybrid model isn't accepted by pcb yet.

Still waiting for BCCI to agree on hybrid model for pakistan in all future tournaments held in India and ICC to draft a contract so the fraud BCCI don't back out like last time

 

[Technics 1210]

BCB, WCB lining up. If PCB can do it, so too can they!

This is just like the ending of Die Hard 2.

 

[Mesozoic]

So is it going to be UAE or Sri Lanka?

If its UAE - Pakistan will have the mental scars of 2018 Asia cup where they were destroyed by a peak Kohli -less India twice..

If its Sri Lanka - Pakistan will have the mental scars of 356 vs 128 from last year..

Hmm..

Bhai if you and me understand this, you think some of these posters don’t? 1-2 are an exception like some guy who is just spamming gibberish but most know, jaane do

It’s Just like “hybrid na Manzoor” to “we also want hybrid”- As the great Babar Azam would say or have someone say it for him “this too shall pass”

Where is @Slim ? He must be gutted hearing this news.

"Fate of Champions Trophy still unclear as no decision taken at ICC meeting"

Posted on cricinfo a few minutes ago.

 

[Technics 1210]

If its Champions Trophy indians will have scars of 2017 final

They do.

They pretend it never hurt but it still does.

When it came for the marbles, Pakistan humiliated India, in the Motherland. India was at its peak we were told, peak of its powers, talent, and money.

Lo dheklo, CT17 ka final - India peaked in humiliation, that was it.

Such was the arrogance that CT17 was meant to be the last edition.

Well India are going to have to play and beat Pakistan in the CT final to avenge CT17, starting with a made in China begging bowl.

We need another cryptic tweet!

 

[PakFan2010]

India are not going to agree to a hybrid model for their own ICC events.

PCB should look to negotiate an agreement that India-Pakistan matches in India must take place in Hyderabad.

 

[emranabbas]

Where is @Slim ? He must be gutted hearing this news.

Why would he be gutted?

We’ve gone from India trying to bully us into playing in India while refusing to visit Pakistan, to an equal stance where Pakistan won’t visit India either, effectively pushing India into accepting a hybrid model.

 

[Mesozoic]

If its Champions Trophy indians will have scars of 2017 final

Lol you got mauled in 5 out of 5 ODIs since that final and talking about scars?

 

[Local.Dada]

Lol you got mauled in 5 out of 5 ODIs since that final and talking about scars?

Only 2017 CT and WT20 2021 are ICC approved. Rest all are BCCI ki saazish.

Mate, that Javid Miandad last ball six set back India a decade, emotionally, and they still go on about it!

 

[Rajdeep]

Hearing that ICC will accept PCBs demand of increase in their revenue.

However, they will not give anything in writing about hybrid models for future ICC events in India.

 

[Croma]

What is the latest news on this matter?

 

[Local.Dada]

I have heard he has requested to not use the word “Hybrid” in the press release when the tournament is going to be held in hybrid eventually

 

[Devadwal]

Hearing that ICC will accept PCBs demand of increase in their revenue.

But but We will not sell ourselves for money”: Mohsin Naqvi

However, they will not give anything in writing about hybrid models for future ICC events in India.

This is the truth and will remain always. BCCI will never used hybrid model for indian tournaments .

[Savak]

Its due to money. PCB will make around 100 million for hosting this tournament in a hybrid model. They obviously couldn't ignore it. I think after initial hollow threats PCB started thinking along with the lines of @Savak

$100 million is Propaganda

The hosting fee is max $10 million in the best case scenario which the PCB can pocket but the rest of the ICC budget of $75 million is meant to go towards the cost of hosting the tournament

According to sources Naqvi will agree to the hybrid model in exchange for the following

- The Pakistani team being granted the same Hybrid model option for all ICC events going forward in India till 2031 if the existing Pakistan India government relationship continues as it is. He wants legal cover for this

- A significant increase in the PCB share of the ICC revenues and for PCB to be made number two in the ICC revenue distribution table. This demand is justified because unlike the other ICC members the PCB does not get to host India unlike other ICC members therefore a significant revenue source is lost and hence PCB's heavy reliance on ICC handouts

- A significant increase in the ICC hosting fee for the CT to compensate for the hybrid model

If it were up to me I would demand a few extra things

- Amending the ftp to demand more tests, odis for Pakistan against big teams line Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa and for more tours by these teams to Pakistan for minimum 3 tests, 3 odis and 3 T20s. Also more A tours to and from these countries

- Boards relaxing their Noc policies for the PSL

 

[Slim]

Where is @Slim ? He must be gutted hearing this news.

Why would i be gutted? Has a decision been taken already?

If Pakistan agrees for quid pro quo hybrid arrangement with India then it speaks a lot about BCCI’s so called power in cricket. From saying CT will be taken to South Africa, to India, to what not. The bully has been humbled massively.

Its not an ideal situation but shows if you put up a fight and stand up for your rights, you can get something out of it. I would not be happy with CT matches being held outside Pakistan. But thats my opinion and i stand by it.

Unlike you and your indian fellas who have been jumping up and down taken on a false bravado ride by your third class garbage journalists spouting lies non stop for months.

 

[emranabbas]

You're the giys who is believing on lhis lollypop - All the india hosted ICC tournament untill 2031 will be played in hybrid model .

This is what you believed and this is lollypop to keep Pakistan fans happy and you're sharing same opinion.

I don't live in delusion world like you .

There will be no hybrid model for india hosting ICC tournament . Remembers this ​

Yes you don't live in delusional world Mr "BCCI has given 24 hours to accept Hybrid model or lose hosting rights"

Only one option will approved and that is extra hosting fees .

100mn( around 90mn actually) news is true as initial budget for hybrid model champions trophy approved around 65mn + 20mn = 85mn

So they will get another 5mn max which means total budget close to 90mn including all the logistics .


No others option will accepted by icc / BCI.

 

[emranabbas]

Then PCB won't accept hybrid model. ICC have to give it in writing we know BCCI are useless

 

[emranabbas]

This is how PCB Chief looks confident or not

 

[Devadwal]

Yes you don't live in delusional world Mr "BCCI has given 24 hours to accept Hybrid model or lose hosting rights"

PCB chief is already accepted .

 

[Josh]

Then PCB won't accept hybrid model. ICC have to give it in writing we know BCCI are useless

Is this the sane guy who said pcb has 24 hours to accept Hybrid model or lose hosting

 

[Devadwal]

Then there will be no hybrid model

Wakeup from the dream . Hybrid model is already accepted by PCB

 

[Hawkeye]

India funds Pakistan Cricket. Ramiz Raja has admitted that clearly. So the day Modi decides to kill the funding, PCB will run dry and cry more.
So, just follow the master to make money. If PCB does not like it, don't take the money from ICC.
Simple really. Pakistan does not have to take this money. Indian Cricket Team is not setting foot on Pakistani soil.

Okay, you keep living in your made up world.

Everything is now in PCBs hands. They’ll do whatever they want.

 

[emranabbas]

Wakeup from the dream . Hybrid model is already accepted by PCB

No it isn't pcb put conditions if they are not fulfilled then no hybrid model

Indians so desperate to play champions trophy to take revenge of 2017

 

[mikeypbadana86]

From an Indian fan: Jingoism aside, pakistan historically is a great side not withstanding recent slump. 2007 t20 was so close, it could have been any body's game. 2011 odi semis it would have been lot closer but for dropped catches by PAK. 2022 t20 was still close despite kohlis back to back sixes.

2017 Champions trophy final it was a one sided affair with domination by Pak.

In a world cup event a knock out, ind vs pak it stars as 50 50, I respect pakistan as an opposition specially having watched peak pak in the 90's. Not sure why some of the indian posters have to put down pak which has great cricket tradition like the west indies with similar peak and decline though.

India vs pakistan in ICC world cup .
Match played 16. India won 15 and Pakistan won 1 and that win was came in 2021 world t20.

There will be no hybrid arrangement for Pakistan when India will host ICC events. As per reports, ICC will not give anything in writing to PCB. Check the video of Mohsin Naqvi above, he was asked the same question by the journalist and his response was 'we have to think what is best for cricket'. Only thing ICC is happy to accommodate is to increase the revenue for PCB which is a fair ask.

India will co-host WT20 2026 & WC 2031. Pakistan will play all their league games outside India but will travel to India to play home side in Ahmedabad as well as semi's/finals.

Anyway, as you said wait for official confirmation if you still not willing to trust any source.

[Giroux28]

If I'm correct PCB was already burned when they demanded to play its WC23 matches in Bangladesh which was rejected by ICC.

So Naqvi would be a fool to accept the hybrid model without anything in writing for future ICC events in India. I'm sure he would want assurance with other board members as witness to hold ICC accountable in the future

I wouldn't be surprised the drama to be delayed even further for this exact reason.

So let's wait till the official announcement with full details before we start celebrating.

 

[ravisurya]

Not a single Indian on thai thread has said India doesn't need other teams, ofcourse we do for cricket to flourish but everyone is saying is that BCCI doest need Pakistan and IPL is an example of that.

Some people have serious comprehension issues.

 

[ChennaiFan]

I have heard he has requested to not use the word “Hybrid” in the press release when the tournament is going to be held in hybrid eventually

PCB managed disputed distributed tournament.

 

[nuttyprof]

Yes, I might be overestimating the BCCI and of course, the Indian government will have the final say regardless of what Jay Shah desires.

I think we put way too much importance on cricket.

It's just a minuscule drop in terms of financial contribution to Pakistan as a whole. Economic damage to such a small contributor (relatively speaking) is hardly worthwhile. Even a Pakistan vs India bilateral series won't make a dent in the grand scheme of things.

There are two benefits to India strategically:
1. It makes the issue and the Indian stand very visible in Pakistan populance.
2. Sports as a whole has a uplifiting effect, where it can uplift the entire nation.
3. IPL is a significant portion of Indian economy. Stopping the growth of cricket in Pakistan can lead to closing yet another avenue of revenue generation.

 

[ravisurya]

Jay Shah with a begging bowl is a sight to see, I mean a sight to see.

Indian media meltdown - that's when you know you have India by the Crown Jewels

Isn't asking for more money the begging part here?

 

[ChennaiFan]

I don't believe it is a comprehension issue. It is just their coping mechanism to save their faces. Let us not punch them when they are down.

[emranabbas]

People do not have comprehension issues. They have an ego issue and a reality check issue.

Just like how people were claiming Pakistan had 24 hours to accept the hybrid model or face being kicked out of the tournament, and now they’re spinning a different story to protect their ego and to sleep peacefully tonight.

 

[ChennaiFan]

I preferred the entire CT to be in Pakistan. Their fans (the overzealous overseas pakistanis here aside) deserve to see a multination tournament on their home soil. But it did not happen. This hybrid model is the next natural outcome. We will get to see a good tournament hopefully.

 

[Rajdeep]

Then no hybrid model

Hope so. As you can see many Indians also don't want this hybrid model and hoping entire event to be hosted in Pak. PCB just need to stay firm in their stance. However that is not seem to be the case.

I would also throw in the mix to have a 3 ODI and 3 T20 bilateral series against India in UAE…

Final should be in Pakistan if India doesn't qualify

hahaha Indian posters on this forum was of very firm and Strong view that PCB has zero leverage over icc and only two options were on table until yesterday that either accept hybrid or be ready to loose hosting rights i can go back to those comments and quote it here

Good thing now there is talk of additional compensation to Pakistan to tune of 20 Million $ .. there is possibility of increase in Revenue too. its a win situation for PCB the way Indian posters have been crying at too of their voice that PCB has no cards to play

some posters said India will not set foot in Pak and deprive Pak of any revenue or financial gain. how is that strategy working ? Pak teams play one match in UAE and gets paid 20 Million $ icing on cake would be pakistan winning

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

i would throw that in Before CT 2025 so India cant chicken out later

For me the icing on the cake would be to beat them and hopefully bad enough so these clowns don't qualify for the knockouts.

Play the Final in Lahore

 

[zn426]

i would throw that in Before CT 2025 so India cant chicken out later

As amusing as that sounds, zero chance of it happening. Both Pakistan and India have completely booked schedules until CT25

For me personally it will be extremely disappointing to see us having to host it in hybrid way.


Increase in icc revenue share, more hosting money and legal cover for not having to play in India for ICC tournies is still massive tho. Final in Lahore if India doesnt qualify. Far cry from bend over tactics by Najam Sethi and Zaka Ashraf. And a massive reality check to Indian fans as well who i hope humble down after this otherwise they will stay stuck in the delulu cycle.

if Pak can get legal cover for hybrid in future .. it will be massive win for pcb because Pak has no further tournaments to host and India has 3 of them in cycle

 

[Mesozoic]

Are you guys living in some parallel reality where matches of a tournament being taken out of your country for some chump change money isn't a grade A humiliation ?

Man..now I get why Pakistan is in a state which it is today.

 

[Mesozoic]

Pakistan were definitely going to play their 2026 T20 WC games in Sri Lanka anyways. Same for the 2031 WC in Bangladesh.

And now have now they have decided to get dragged out of their own home tournament for absolutely no reason except some $$
And we're supposed to believe BCCI are the ones that ended up on the wrong side of this negotiation..

 

[Snowflake]

Pakistan is welcome to not send the team to India.

You can’t welcome something that’s not in your hands.

wait, why was Pak “definitely going to play their 2026 T20 WC games in Sri Lanka anyways. Same for the 2031 WC in Bangladesh.”?

Didn’t Pak just visit India for the WC?

 

[rpant_gabba]

For me personally it will be extremely disappointing to see us having to host it in hybrid way.

don't worry, it will be a more palatable term. will not be called hybrid

how the mighty have fallen. Going from burn world cricket down to settling for few extra dollars all the while claiming we will not sell ourselves for money) and hoping for permission to be a nuisance.

sad really

It isnt some “chump change”, couple of things are being talked about. This can result in tournament finals being taken out of India.

Any source for "the couple of things being talked about"

Go through the thread.

For me the ideal scenario and the only scenario i would be happy with is India’s removal from champions trophy. I dont want them in the tournament. No hybrid.

Again, im just reiterating my posts but folks like you need to be re-told in small chunks.
