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

My sympathies are with Pak cricket fans.

This isn't the India Bhagat Singh or Gandhi would be proud of.... Strong-arming is never an attribute I would be proud of.
This hyper masculinity is anti humanity, we should atleast be sympathetic to the plight of cricket fans across the border and should not make fun of them.
 
Well then form an English committee or a SA committee.
before that there was a English guy. SA? the same board which has run its own board to ground and now needs T20 tournament propped up by IPL teams to stay afloat? The same SA which has driven number of players out of SA? yes, they will do great

Genuinely speaking, I just wanna see Travis head leading BCCI, ICC and PCB. Would be cool to see the mustache Man goat in a suit taking decisions
 

Champions Trophy Hybrid Model 'Finalised', Says Report. But India Will Have To Pay Heavy Price For ICC's Decision​


The International Cricket Council has reached a consensus to conduct next year's Champions Trophy in a hybrid model, allowing India to play its share of matches in Dubai while agreeing "in principle" to a similar arrangement in multi-lateral events till 2027. According to a top ICC source, the decision was more or less finalised during an informal meeting between the body's new President Jay Shah and the Board of Directors, including Pakistan, at its headquarters in Dubai on Thursday. "It's been agreed in principle by all parties that the 2025 Champions Trophy will be held in the UAE and Pakistan with India playing its matches in Dubai. It's a win-win situation for all stakeholders," the ICC source told PTI.

The Champions Trophy is to be held in February-March next year. Pakistan, while withdrawing its boycott threat and agreeing to go hybrid in the previous ICC meet last week, had demanded a reciprocal arrangement for itself till 2031. However, the ICC has agreed to a hybrid model for all its events till 2027.

During this period, India will be hosting the women's ODI World Cup in October this year and the 2026 men's T20 World Cup jointly with Sri Lanka.

Given the hosting arrangement, Pakistan would not have been compelled to travel to India if they had insisted against it in 2026 even if a hybrid model was not in place.

"During the 2026 men's T20 World Cup, Pakistan will play its matches in Sri Lanka. The compensation demanded by PCB for the Champions Trophy hybrid model is still under consideration," the source said.

Agreeing to this arrangement means that the Indian women's team will have to travel to a neutral venue to play their league match against Pakistan, should that be necessitated by the schedule which is yet to come out.

"Cricket should win, that's most important but with respect for all. We are going to do what's best for cricket. Whichever formula we go for, it would be on equal terms," Pakistan Cricket Board head Mohsin Naqvi had stated after the last ICC meet.

The latest development will clear the decks for the release of Champions Trophy schedule which has been long awaited by fans and broadcasters, Star Sports.

As per the contract between the ICC and the broadcaster, the governing body was expected to give it the schedule of the tournament at least 90 days in advance but that deadline has already been breached.

The channel's representatives were in Dubai to discuss the operational modalities of the 'Hybrid Model' and prospective schedule with Shah. But that meeting was postponed to Saturday, according to sources.

The PCB had earlier indicated that it wanted a greater share in the annual revenue cycle to accommodate the Indian demand for a hybrid model but there is no word yet on whether this has been discussed.

 
But geo or ary news can't remember which reported this yesterday that there will be a meeting to welcome new chairman and champions trophy won't be discussed

I'm surprised India media and @Devadwal only found out about it today.

so if there was no meeting where is this news coming from about pakistan asking for tri series in a meeting?

Just one of those moments again where India did 2 mins bhangra and then go phussss again 😂
They must be hitting 88 mph! 😂😂

As expected. India have accepted to play their matches as host in future tournaments in neutral venue as well till 2027 at least.

ICC will also be compensating to PCB for CT25.

I think this is the best result PCB could've gotten without having to withdraw from CT25.
 
What about NZ committee?
you want an NZ committee? have you heard them comment on any match? have you see how biased they are? they put shame to Indian commentators :).. NZ also is struggling to financially survive and have drastically cut down tests. If you are fan of test matches, then Jay Shah is your best hope. He has genuinely done very well for BCCI

Generally, we need to move out of this mentality of certain nationals somehow being great at certain thing. If the country is big and diverse enough, then you will find good capable people everywhere. It is just that most of the Boards are pretty corrupt, irrespective of where they are. Look at all the racism scandals in England, Sexual abuse cases and other scandals in Aus, outright corruption by Jayasurya, Ranatunga in SL, direct political involvement in Pak, a sitting minister is the head of PCB, outright racism and corruption in SA, absolute inconstancy in ZIM, US, BD (previous head, not sure who is now), etc. If you see all of them, then you will realize how decent Jay shah has been. apart from nepotism, i don't see anything else he is accused of. He works hard, focus on test matches, encourages better facilities for all, better pay for all FC players, pay parity for Women players, WOmen IPL, etc shows he is a smart adminstrator. I will take a good adminstrator irrespective of where he comes from. If there is a great proven adminstrator from Pak, BD or even Uganda board, i am happy to see them lead ICC

So no India v Pakistan matches in Ahmedabad or even the final should Pakistan qualify.

I thought Pakistan WILL HAVE to play their games against India in India in ICC events?

I'm just kidding bro. I don't get into politics. I only talk about cricket.

Thats why you hardly see me discussing anything related to CT situation between India and Pakistan or hardly see me on timepass in the politics section.

For me it's cricket talks in the field and player comparisons that's it.

Rn I'm just pulling some people's legs but it's all harmless fun.
 
If I was Bcci, PCB and ICC, I'd want someone with an aussie passport to run bcci.

Mainly because Aussies are amongst the most professional, Non arrogant and mature people in the world and they'd easily be able to handle such a situation.

My solution is to hire 3 aussie citizens as chairman's of each individual board and form a committee of aussie passport holders only.

All revenue, Broadcasting and political affairs of each board should be decided by them.

Indians and Pakistani's are too immature to be running such organization's.
Yup ,the colonials are too uncivilized to manage their own resources. Lets take control of it.

good man. that will keep you sane :).. its fun to have some banter though.. good luck to you
 
Done from my side . I'll never interact with him. I didn't know he is terrorist supporter .

Thank for this information.
It was inside job everyone knows that maybe you should stop interacting with your self first.
You yourself don't have any self respect still want to play with pakistan after accusing them for 11/26.

But but according to you indians everyone in Pakistan is a terrorist and it isn't safe for India to visit 😂

The irony of asking Indians if they can distinguish between "facts" and "reports" and then calling something an inside job because everyone apparently knows it. :ROFLMAO:

India Invited Pakistan to play home series 4 years after 26/11… that narrative got buried right there and then. Now they are foolishly try to reignite the issue just to justify Ego Drive BCCI and Media went on Regarding. CT 2025
 
Back to topic, ICC shpuld remove India and Pakistan from the same group as well.

Move either India or Pakistan to the other group.

Preferably I would like it if India moves to Aus, Eng, SA group and that entire group plays in UAE.

And all pak, Bang, Afg and NZ matches are held in Pakistan

Avoid Travel until Semi finals. If India qualifies then group A cam travel to UAE , otherwise Group B can travel to PK.

Atleast take a stand and avoid India and Pak encounters if India is being a perpetual cry baby.

And swapping afg and India is the right call. Or really swapping India will any team from Group B is the right call.

This may happen but not possible in this tournament.

Because the Indians who don't care about Pakistan and want to isolate Pakistan have paid astronomical amounts for TV rights to watch their team play....... Pakistan.

That deal is done and won't be changed.
 
Nothing confirmed just rumours.
Thanks, I really want India to be booted and replaced with Sri Lanka, If this was football that would 100% be the case.

I also think the groups are unbalanced.

Pak, NZ, India and Bang is a much easier group then aus, Eng, SA and afg.

If I was Icc and if theirs no choice but hybrid model, then I'd use the opportunity to rearrange the groups as well.

Afg, Bang, Pak and SA should be in one team. SA is strong but they choke alot in tournaments hence their a safe bet to be placed in easy groups.

India, Eng, Aus and NZ in the other group.

Groups should be balanced.
 
Whatever outcome as I said previously PCB negotiating team has handled itself very well and much differently to the paindu styles before.

I think deep down even Indian posters know that too. India has no case and may win like a child throwing tantrum and getting some sweeties.
 
India Invited Pakistan to play home series 4 years after 26/11… that narrative got buried right there

Nope. Overwhelming majority of Indians were against that series and the then UPA government was butchered left, right and centre for that stupid move.

That doesn't negate what I said at all.

Doesn't change the fact that India invited Pakistan to play.

So whatever narratives you concuct of being against it, Ultimately it was the indian government that sent the invitation letter.
 
Nope. Overwhelming majority of Indians were against that series and the then UPA government was butchered left, right and centre for that stupid move.
Show some proof that show overwhelming majority of Indians were against the series. Don't bring your Chacha or Mamas opinion, show something of substance.
 
I don't understand why and how any of this is BCCI's fault. And I'm certainly not a "BCCI spokesperson" like some would allege as I have criticized them plenty of times on this forum but it's just plain dumbassery to say that India are desperate to play in this tournament and are "begging" for hybrid model..

All BCCI said is "We can't travel to Pakistan because our government won't allow us to". That's it.

It's all on ICC to go ahead with the tournament without India's participation and be done with it. And it's on PCB to convince the other member boards that a tournament without India will still be financially lucrative. If neither are incapable of doing so , how on earth is it BCCI's fault?

I've asked this question multiple times on this thread but never got a direct answer from the indophobes who try to cleverly run away from the question and start screeching "bCCi bAd..mUh iNdiA baD" verbatim.

Still waiting for an answer...

Why can't the PCB convince the other boards that a tournament without India shouldn't be an issue at all?


:mw
 
Nope. Overwhelming majority of Indians were against that series and the then UPA government was butchered left, right and centre for that stupid move.

They were only butchered because India lost the series. Since then, India has been scared to play against Pakistan, only facing them in World Cups where they feel they have a psychological advantage.


Most of the ads have been removed by the Indians after they lost the series embarrassingly
 
Show some proof that show overwhelming majority of Indians were against the series. Don't bring your Chacha or Mamas opinion, show something of substance.

Well that's a dumb question to start with but the proof lies in the fact that UPA were driven out of power the very next year.

Ahh yes... Scared to play you guys in some useless bilaterals but not scared to play you in high profile world cup games with bigger stakes where you guys get mauled everytime .. :ROFLMAO:
 
Their is one thing I do wish to say to some(not all) Indian posters on the forumn.

Ultimately this is a pakistani forumn, where the people here are Pakistani. Hence you lot are under no jurisdiction to

A) Be making any demands.

B) Complaining and whining about pakistani viewpoints and critiquing them WHILE BEING ON A PAKISTANI FORUMN.

C) Demanding Bans for Pakistani members.

D) Frequently insulting Pakistani posters and being racist towards them while forgetting that you're immigrants on this forumn.

Be humble and stop antagonising Pakistani posters. I stopped my war a while back, but I got into a 2 month long dispute with you guys simply due to one innocent thread asking if India would become an avg team if their legends retire.

This led into racism, followed by trolls and some deleted threads solely dedicated to me.

I promised to stop, but you lot haven't and since then dozens and dozens of pakistani posters are targeted and this includes my brother @emranabbas and even a former rival @DeadlyVenom

Whatever flaws or hostility that may come from these 2 or other pakistani posters, 99% of the time it's usually started by you guys and escalated to the point that they say such things.

Look in the mirror first. Don't complain when people bite back and attack you since you lot start provoking people first.

If you're gonna

A) Act racist while being on a pakistani forumn.

B) Shut pakistani viewpoints left and right.

C) Bring in political racism

D) Demand bans

E) Make exclusive threads targeting posters.

Then don't whine and complain when same said posters do the same, escalate it and start talking about terrorism and other taboo topics. Don't make me fetch threads where you lot have done the same and worse.

Another brother of mine @sweep_shot also gets targeted Frequently.

This is why their only 5 to 6 Indian posters that I talk to respectfully. Everyone else starts propaganda wars and usually tend to being out either the worst in me or my fellow pakistani posters.
 
Cricinfo is reporting that Jay Shah, Mohsin Naqvi met today and all of the PCB demands have been met

- Hybrid model for India and Pakistan for ICC events hosted in India, Pakistan till 2027

- Additional compensation for the PCB for accepting the Hybrid model for the CT including all the gate receipts from UAE which will mean an estimated additional $1.5 - 2 million

- An increase in the ICC annual share for the PCB

- A potential tri series featuring India, Pakistan and another team going forward

Regarding this matter, I’ve only been relying on the two interviews Mohsin Naqvi has given and trusting what he personally stated. I’ll wait a bit longer before celebrating.
 
Same reason why BCCI couldnt so far dump Pakistan and shift the tournament to South Africa.

I'm sure you can figure out the reason...

What? How and why would BCCI would "dump" Pakistan out of a tournament that they have no control over?
 
BCCI and ICC is making sure Pakistan must India atleast one time in every ICC event in order to fulfill the deal with broadcasters. Whole ICC event is revolving around ind vs pak match. Seems like cricket is a dead sport
 
So no answer still. Just as expected.
What answer do you want from him?

You claimed India was against it yet theirs visual evidence of India inviting pak in 2012 and sending Invitations.

It's your job to prove that's the case not his(@DeadlyVenom ) If you were educated enough to learn how to argue semantics then maybe you wouldn't be getting embrassed left and right from fellow Pakistani's.

Then again am not surprised, You probs didn't even go to school 🙄. Pfftt bunch of dropouts.
 
What? How and why would BCCI would "dump" Pakistan out of a tournament that they have no control over?
They can use the same mechanics that you want Pakistan to use to remove India..ie convince other boards.

Pakistan has no control over the participants either...
 
So you guys voted out a sitting government because of a 3 match ODI series and Two Match T20 series 🤣

Can you show some poll data to support this? HAHAHAH

Well lack of retribution against Pakistan post 26/11 was one of the many things. Please dont make yourselves look like a clown asking for poll data lol. No amount of smileys would stop you looking like a karen asking for the manager every millisecond.

No demand has been accepted. I have gone through the article. A final and official decision will be made on 7th of DEC. Its unlikely that apart from hybrid model any other demands will be accepted. Even the hybrid model is a bluff coz BCCI is already saying that there is no security issue in India, so no way they are going to accept hybrid model. It would be a repeat of promise made during BIG 3 model.

I want to see how you came to conclusions of most Indians.

I'm also intrigued that India cast vote based on cricket.

Jeez the slowness is off the charts...

Pakistan are literally the hosts. Onus is on them to convince the other boards to come play the champions trophy as planned in Pakistan and not to worry about India's absence. What's stopping them from doing so?

Don't you see this basic of a difference between the two scenarios? Really?
 

Champions Trophy Impasse Ends, Pakistan To Not Visit India For Asia Cup, Women's WC, T20 World Cup: Reports​

A breakthrough has reportedly been reached in the 2025 Champions Trophy saga as a hybrid model will be adopted for the mega event, which will see India play their matches in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, a similar model has been agreed upon for every ICC event till 2027, which will affect the Women's World Cup 2025 and Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

The 2025 Champions Trophy impasse is set to end

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
  • The 2025 Champions Trophy will be held in a hybrid model
  • India will host the Women's World Cup and T20 World Cup in the next two years
  • Pakistan will not visit India in the next three years

India and Pakistan are set to confirm they will not tour each other for any cricket assignment for the next three years as the 2025 Champions Trophy (CT) heads for a hybrid model after a long drawn saga following the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) confirmed that the Men in Blue will not travel to the neighbouring nation.

According to a report by the Press Trust of India, an agreement has been reached during the International Cricket Council's (ICC) meeting on Friday for the Champions Trophy to be played in a hybrid model which will mean that India play their matches in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and a similar arrangment has been agreed for all ICC events till 2027.

In this period, India are set to host the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup and 2026 Men's T20 World Cup. With Sri Lanka set to co-host the T20 World Cup, Pakistan will play their matches in the Island nation, the Indian women's team will travel out of the country to play Pakistan in the 2025 Women's World Cup if the two teams are drawn together. This arrangment could mean that the India-Pakistan clash in the 2026 T20 World Cup takes place in Sri Lanka while the final of both events is scheduled outside India.

India are set to host the 2025 Men's Asia Cup too and Times of India (TOI) has reported that alongside the two ICC events, the agreement also extends to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) showpiece event.


The status of the 2025 Champions Trophy was under the cloud after BCCI confirmed last month that the Indian government have not given the team permission to visit Pakistan due to security reasons. The Men in Blue have not played in Pakistan since the 2008 Asia Cup.

Pakistan visited India for the semi-final of the 2011 World Cup as well as the entire 2016 T20 World Cup and 2023 World Cup. The Men in Green also played a three ODI and two T20I match bilateral series on Indian soil in 2012-13.

 
Please dont make yourselves look like a clown asking for poll data lol.

But where is the Poll Data? 🤡
He polled his uncle's and aunty and came here to talk big.

These Indians packed out 100k stadium to watch Pakistan and greeted them with belly dancers during the recent world cup.

That's enough visual evidence to show he is talking rubbish.

Hosts just host the tournament. They don't convince boards or pick and choose who comes. That's up to the ICC.

Please try again.

Ultimately this is a pakistani forumn, where the people here are Pakistani. Hence you lot are under no jurisdiction to

A) Be making any demands.

B) Complaining and whining about pakistani viewpoints and critiquing them WHILE BEING ON A PAKISTANI FORUMN.

C) Demanding Bans for Pakistani members.

D) Frequently insulting Pakistani posters and being racist towards them while forgetting that you're immigrants on this forumn.

Be humble and stop antagonising Pakistani posters. I stopped my war a while back, but I got into a 2 month long dispute with you guys simply due to one innocent thread asking if India would become an avg team if their legends retire.

This led into racism, followed by trolls and some deleted threads solely dedicated to me.

I promised to stop, but you lot haven't and since then dozens and dozens of pakistani posters are targeted and this includes my brother @emranabbas and even a former rival @DeadlyVenom

Whatever flaws or hostility that may come from these 2 or other pakistani posters, 99% of the time it's usually started by you guys and escalated to the point that they say such things.

Look in the mirror first. Don't complain when people bite back and attack you since you lot start provoking people first.

If you're gonna

A) Act racist while being on a pakistani forumn.

B) Shut pakistani viewpoints left and right.

C) Bring in political racism

D) Demand bans

E) Make exclusive threads targeting posters.

Then don't whine and complain when same said posters do the same, escalate it and start talking about terrorism and other taboo topics. Don't make me fetch threads where you lot have done the same and worse.

Another brother of mine @sweep_shot also gets targeted Frequently.

This is why their only 5 to 6 Indian posters that I talk to respectfully. Everyone else starts propaganda wars and usually tend to being out either the worst in me or my fellow pakistani posters.
What an incredible demeaning slur to put onto the mods, no need for this mudslinging….Saj and others have been very supportive and accommodating to ALL Cricket. When vehle time and just down right degrading behaviour (PCB and begging, Pakistanis & begging etc) Pakistani posters give it back, then MO is to grab and sling mud. As he mentioned, those in his list support his disgusting views.
 
There you go... :ROFLMAO:


So how is Pakistan getting pushed out of a tournament in BCCI's control but suddenly it becomes ICC's when the roles are reversed?

It is an ICC tournament. I'm not sure where I have said those words you claim I have said.

You aren't making sense and making up questions to answer them yourself isn't painting you in a good light.

I suppose that's to be expected from someone who cast their vote on the basis of ODI series being played.

Maybe you need to update your self.

All your indian channels are reporting hybrid is accepted by India so Pakistan are not getting pushed out

Embarrassing moment all that big talk 🤭
 
Pak fans, speak up, speak out, keep it cordial (you usually do). This tournament and said matches will be tarred . Is it worth watching.
 
No demand has been accepted. I have gone through the article. A final and official decision will be made on 7th of DEC. Its unlikely that apart from hybrid model any other demands will be accepted. Even the hybrid model is a bluff coz BCCI is already saying that there is no security issue in India, so no way they are going to accept hybrid model. It would be a repeat of promise made during BIG 3 model.

PCB needs to have the demands signed off on a legally binding agreement
 
Hahahahahahaahahaha.. running away now as expected.

Didn't you literally just ask me minutes ago why BCCI haven't yet pushed Pakistan out of the tournament and shifted it to South Africa? :ROFLMAO:


Just take it on the chin and move on. I thought you were hypocritical but looks like you're just clueless lol.


You wanna see the interaction

Read what I said again slowly. Read it very slowly.

And then look in the mirror and look at your face when you realise that you have walked right into.
Let me know if you want a hint.

That is incorrect. Firstly me and @DeadlyVenom fight like cats and dogs. We hardly have ever agreed on anything.

Secondly you can ask @emranabbas before today, i didnt even bother to comment on this entire Fiasco about ct nor have i ever talked about 2008 Mumbai, Infact ive heardly even read about the incident lol.

However

It is a known fact that Indians on this forumn have insulted pakistani posters, Have made exclusive threads mocking pakistani posters, have frequently shut down their opinions and have treated them like lesser humans, And have even asked for their bans.

The most disgusting thing about this, is that these Indians are on a pakistani forumn and the forumn is called PakPassion , its in the name.

And i am not categorizing all indians. Obviously their many indians who i treasure on this forumn, However the guilty party such as yourself are well aware of what I meant.

If you have a problem, Then you can stop this, Otherwise be prepared to face others wrath.

Plain and simple, tameez seikh lo, you're immigrants on a forumn. It's a shame PP doesn't have the same governing authority as Australia since aussies government are booting non PR Indian holders like flies from their country since you indians are abusing country laws.

Canada is doing the same. UK isn't but honestly UK should.
