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

PCB should boycott the tournament if India doesn't agreed Hybrid model in writing.

Sure, I agree with you. But in reality they will never do that because PCB knows it will only hurt them going forward. Reality is, BCCI is too powerful for anyone to challenge them, ICC included. ICC will sacrifice PCB in place of BCCI on any given day, even if India gives ICC in writing like you suggested. Is it unfair? 100% but whoever brings more to the table has a bigger say always. This is not Bangladesh where PCB will bully them into paying them money and thinks that they will come out as winners.

Why is this point not addressed at all? Not even a syllable out of ICC or PCB.

Not even on this forum. None of the posters in this thread want to discuss the SL replacement option. Why?

like i said before , which team gets replaced or not.. its job of ICC as tournament organizer . this is a valid question for ICC not PCB

Its phuss phuss pakistan here. Pcb won't get anything in return it seems.

Posters here are funny, on one hand they say broadcasters want India Pakistan match on other hand they say India will be replaced and broadcaster will be happy 😂

BCCI wont agree to partnership model. Partners need be equals.

It will go back to hybrid or ct out of pak
 
PCB is seriously deluded if they think BCCI will consider giving Pakistan Hybrid model for future ICC tournaments in India.

If PCB agree to Hybrid now it's because BCCI is ready to give $$$$ to PCB. Compensate PCB loss of gate money and other revenue. They probably also cover extra cost involved with Hybrid model. Will PCB even be in a position to give compensation to BCCI if they want to play outside India?

PCB should have taken Pakistan completly out of Champions Trophy and told India to go f. yourself. How many times are you going to let BCCI handle you like this?

BCCI excuse for not playing in Pakistan is because of their claim that they don't have government approval. The Indian Foreign office has stated that this is the decision of the BCCI. We have had a few Indian politicians comment that India should send its team to Pakistan. Why is BCCI refusing to provide a letter or an official document in writing proving that it is the Indian Government refusing to provide permission to BCCI to send its team to Pakistan?

The Pakistani government has categorically told the PCB this time not to make any concessions to the BCCI without getting anything in return and to follow a *** for Tat policy. Its okay for BCCI to follow its government directives but India wants the PCB to defy the Pakistani government?

Yup sure. We are waiting for the consequences. So far it's all big loud mouth talk without any substance. So I say, bring it on and finish this hybrid drama once it for all.

The PCB was well aware that India would not accept the proposed conditions, which is precisely why those conditions were put forward.

This is not a U-Turn by the PCB, they have made maamu out of India.

Now, the BCCI is approaching the broadcasters, advising them not to request an India vs. Pakistan match, as India will not be traveling to Pakistan. With no hybrid model in place due to the BCCI’s refusal to accept the conditions, the entire tournament will be in Pakistan without India's participation.

Without India CT cannot happen..It is not India's loss..It's ICC who is facing loss in revenue and PCB trying to save its face..just wait for the outcome..it's either pak agree to play hybrid without any agreement or whole CT gets postponed..both way Pak and ICC are the ones going to get affected..we have IPL the money spinner to earn sufficient money..
 
There has quite a few opinions that ICC shouldn't have allowed BCCI to gain power and things should have controlled decades ago.

Here is an opportunity for spell out what, when and hwo you would have done things differently.

Remember the Eng-Aus veto was in place till 1993 and that went away thanks to Jagmohan Dalmiya
 
India has rejected hybrid model for their future hosting tournaments. By the looks of it . It’s likely champions trophy will be cancelled or postponed
 
As per reports:

Discussions between the International Cricket Council (ICC), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding the Champions Trophy are at an impasse. Although the PCB showed a willingness to adopt a hybrid model for hosting matches, which would see India’s games played in Dubai, the BCCI rejected PCB’s conditions, asserting that there is no security threat in India and thus no need for a hybrid arrangement.

The BCCI has also ruled out sending its team to Pakistan over security concerns. As multiple ICC events are scheduled to be hosted in India over the next decade, the PCB risks losing its hosting rights for the Champions Trophy if a resolution is not reached. Reports indicate that all parties are aiming to find an amicable solution, with the ICC board set to reconvene soon. The PCB has previously threatened to withdraw from the tournament if it is moved to another country.

how can pcb take India out of CT 2025? do you think that authority rests with PCB? its ICC that can make that call , which obviously the one they want to avoid making. Stop Blaming PCB for BCCI’s stubbornness and Ego centric approach. PCB tried to come to middle ground. Not sure what BCCI wants to prove here? BCCI is powerful , Everyone gets that. At this point we dnt even know if its GOI that stirred up the issue , It may well be BCCI’s own doing since they have not presented any written document about GOI instructing them on security threats.

All that said , PCB should take couple additional 2% increase in Revenue share if ICC/BCCi offer it which would mean an additional income in excess of 100 Million $ for remaining cycle till 2031
 
PCB has played this very well I must say.


India has been made to look foolish multiple times, and now the PCB can also very cleverly use the same excuse India is posting by showing them the mirror.

India has no legitimate response, and only the most senseless Indian patriots can portray this as looking good for them.

They are refusing to play in a country as a response to the Mumbai attacks, but you demand that the country you hold responsible comes to India to play there 🤣

Sure they may win - in the same way that a toddler who throws a tantrum in a toy shop technically "wins" when his parents give in and buy him the toys.

But I support the way Mohsin Naqvi and PCB have handled this. They have shown the cricketing world they can make a sacrifice to put cricket first.

They arrange one ICC event every single year. It makes things less interesting.

This is what happens when BCCI controls ICC. They make the sport unappealing with their petty politics and overcommercialization.

Now Pak is being pushed to the brink with petty politics

Cricket may well be reduced to IPL in coming days
 
BCCI is clear on the following and informed the same to ICC:

1. Indian team will not set its foot on Pakistan.

2. No hybrid model will be provided for ICC events hosted in India.

Now ICC and PCB need to find a way around it.
 
BCCI has went down a very foolish path here.

They say that there is a security threat in Pakistan based on GOI assessment without any discussion or evidence

So how can they argue against Pakistan government doing the same?

Good that the BCCI has cleared the air. Now, the ball is in PCB's court. They have several options to handle this.
  1. Conduct the tournament without India.
  2. Agree to a hybrid model for the Champions Trophy and boycott future tournaments in India.
  3. Withdraw from the Champions Trophy altogether.
Let’s see which path they choose. I hope they take a firm stand and don’t sell out for money, Pakistani pride is important as Naqvi and some Pakistani fans are chest-thumping about.

Wishing them all the best!

The biggest fools are PCB. They should have learned their lesson long time ago and well aware that BCCICC will never agree to hybrid model for future ICC events. If PCB is thinking India will let go a grand final of a world cup in 100k capacity stadium of Ahmedabad and host it in SL or UAE just for Pakistan's sake, they are the biggest fool on earth.

PCB still has the card of revenue generating Ind v Pak match up their sleeves. They should reject any hybrid model for upcoming CT come what may and test the waters. As I said before abhi nehi...to kabhi nehi. Pakistan will not get to host an ICC events anytime soon anyway.

1. how can pcb decide that? the ball is in court of ICC if they can host without India. its not call of PCB
2. they already agreed to hybrid model with hybrid in return. India cant agree on anything except what they say
3. Pak will not withdraw from tournament unless it is moved. ICC can force a hybrid schedule on PCB during board meet but PCB will forfeit India Game. thats why deadlock exists because apparently without Ind vs Pak , It makes no sense for broadcasters. ICC in catch 22 situation. they want Ind vs Pak to protect broadcasters and at same time threatening of extreme measures like Moving the trophy inviting more trouble

How will a tournament look without defending champions playing it , on top of that stripping hosting rights from original host too? how many of posters here think that will give a good look of this sports to outside world?

PCB has pulled the rug from right under India here, only a fool would deny it.

On what basis can the PCB's stance be rejected, given they are just asking for equal treatment?

The only basis it can be rejected is $$$$$, so Indian topi drama of security, Mumbai revenge, etc, has been burned to the ashes and shown as just petty muscle flexing against Pakistan.

I get that you guys are happy with such a demonstration of "strength", but any neutral can see exactly what is happening, drama script has been shredded, and thats why I like the route the PCB has taken.

I think WT20 2026 will still be co-hosted like 2011 world cup. Pakistan will play all his games in SL. However, they have to come to India to play the India game and all play-offs/finals will be in India.

BCCI has outrightly denied any hybrid model for Pakistan's sake as there is no security issues and PCT has visited India multiple times in recent past.

Now the ball is on PCBs court to stick to their original stance of no hybrid model for CT.

If BCCI can stick to their original stance, why can't PCB?

how exactly are PCB fools? you have all criticism for PCB for nothing? did nt ICC in last board meeting asked PCB and BCCI to come up with solution although it was the job of ICC as tournament organizer to address the issue right away but ICC keeps deflecting the ball from its court effectively not doing its job. PCB did what was asked and they came up with solution , so how that can be held as bad thing done by PCB?

You got nothing to say to BCCI? they dnt want to let go of potential 100K final involving Pak but how would it serve them if Pak does nt Participate or refuses to travel and that final does nt happen at all? Is BCCI strategy is only looking good and Optics to show power?

I am not happy and I have said multiple times that I am with PCB on this. This is simply a bullying tactics by BCCI.

What I am saying is, PCB will never get a better opportunity to test this theory that without ind v pak game the Icc Events will be a loss occuring event. So they must remain firm and clearly say no to hybrid model and see how far it can go.

As a cricket fan, I have zero interest now in CT anyway after all this drama. I am eagerly looking forward to next ICC event in Eng whenever it will be.

They are in a tough situation; I'm not sure how they can refuse outright, as it will also play into India's hands and isolate Pakistan.

So far they have treaded carefully and actually been very reasonable throughout the process.
 
@Rajdeep just to add PCB should have played this card sooner and sunk the Asia cup. That was the best time to take a stand and they could have still played the world cup claiming its an "ICC event" so they will go.

Also blame lies on Rameez Raja and Saurav Ganguly. Atleast Ganguly should have stepped in when ICC was offering the entire tournament to Pakistan. He was well aware Indian govt's stance and should have raised the objection back then. As brother @Mamoon said yesterday, ICC should have given this tournament a co-host along with Pakistan from the onset. Doing that would have saved everyones time and effort. Also, PCB could have co-hosted many more ICC events in future. Now its has become a ego battle due to ICCs mismanagement and there is no way out.

yes. ICC should be blamed more than board heads. May Be Sourav and Rameez thought relations would improve come 2025

Even now ICC can add co host and offer Pakistan to include as co host in 2031 CWC.. that may break the deadlock

BCCI has no common sense. They won't come to Pakistan because of political issues but will host Pakistan, take care of them, and send them off with a big check (paid by Indian broadcasters lol) which you guessed right goes back into Pakistan's economy.

ICC has no common sense. Get these things cleared out before or have a co-hosted tournament from the start. You have to live under a rock not to see what's been happening between the BCCI and PCB for the past decade. Why would you ever let it build up to this?

PCB has no common sense. Saying ten different things from "no hybrid model" to "we will put cricket first" not to mention what the previous PCB chairmen have done like Najam Sethi and Rameez Raja.

All of these organizations are making a fool of cricket fans. I feel bad for Pakistani fans living in Pakistan who have been waiting for an ICC tournament and are now being treated with such disrespect. It's the first tournament since the 90s and this is how it's unfolding.
 
3 likely outcomes

1.Champions trophy moves out of Pakistan and Pakistan boycotts

2. Champions trophy called off

3. India Pakistan in separate groups . Pakistan plays all the games at home . Final and one semi final in Dubai only if India qualifies .
 
Given all the drama, deadlocks and demands.

The easiest solution in all this to me seem to be Hybrid model everytime in ICC tournament is played in India or Pakistan.

This allows India v Pakistan matches to continue to happen in ICC Tournaments also. No political or security concerns. Status quo continues. ICC would love this solution
 
What if we hold it in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir? Pakistan plays its matches there. When there are Indian matches, we name the title as Indian Occupied Kashmir. Then India will feel like at home.

Cancel the champions trophy. Best solution for both the boards.
