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

[uppercut]

No cricket team was attacked with bombs and bullets in these countries.

UN sanctioned terrorists don't roam freely in these countries.

Again ... you are not required to use facts in these discussions .... so dont constrain yourself to a higher standard. Kuch bhi chalega babu moshay

 

[rpant_gabba]

Has there been any official word from ICC or is it still all speculation?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

No cricket team was attacked with bombs and bullets in these countries.

UN sanctioned terrorists don't roam freely in these countries.

The Sri Lankan cricket team, despite being attacked with bombs and bullets, chose to move forward and toured Pakistan again. Yet, some of my fellow Indian fans can't let go of that incident. It seems to be their last excuse for not touring Pakistan. Sri Lankan players have shown immense courage and trust in Pakistan's security measures, as have teams from other countries who have toured there in recent years.

Kuch naya bahana lao, Bengali dada.

 

[Technics 1210]

No Pakistan vs India match, no $750M pay day. BCCI bankrupt.

This is what you call leverage and power - Pakistan decide whether India lives to see another day, and the Indians know it.

Indians don't know where to run, other than to Pakistan to beg for the match.

India's so called riches are utterly useless in this situation. BCCIs political backing, utterly useless. Their Hindutva Cultist keyboard warriors, utterly useless.

All because PCB said no.

Such is the insecurity that mere rejection has sent India into a tail spin.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

As I said earlier too, BCCI is not going to accept these terms, PCB can protest but I know who is gonna have the final say here.

 

[Local.Dada]

Had the BCCI been in the PCB's place, someone from Bollywood would have already turned this story into a movie.

BCCI wasn’t in PCB’s place is exactly why PCB was afloat even with such crisis. Most revenue comes from India only which is distributed to others. Rameez Raja as PCB chairman and not as YouTuber or ex-cricketer said this on record.

I can understand that its a jazbati topic for Pakistanis and holding CT is a big deal for the nation, but what's up with lying to yourself? Its not even delusions at this point, just straight up lies.

 

[Smbhayi]

Its all doen to politics.. But hilarious replies from pak.. Didnt pcb refused to tour india in 1990s (when they've upperhand).. Also refused send its players for 2nd edition of IPL.. So these things happens from both side..

 

[Itachi]

I'm not understanding your argument.
Perhaps you can explain?

I mean you have the "terrorism argument" to refuse playing in Pakistan but what about bi lateral games? Why refuse those over the last 12 years?

I don't think Pakistan has proposed for bilaterals outside Pakistan as of yet if I recollect correctly.

 

[Itachi]

Maybe you should preach to your own people

The Indian broadcasters and sponsors are the ones who are begging for a India vs Pakistan match.

Is a India vs Pakistan match such a big money generator that indian broadcasters are claiming a loss of 90% if it doesn't go through?

I would like to see broadcaster claiming loss of 90%. Any quote from broadcaster or any release from the media house?

 

[Hitman]

Many actually don't want BCCI to engage with PCB at all.

Just withdraw from CT and let ICC handle how they want to handle the losses.

Count me in.

For some one claiming to be indian, you carry a lot of water for Pakistan.

and takes a few bullets too

 

[Varun]

All this has generated more interest than the CT will ever offer.

Count me in too but too bad BCCI is greedy and hypocritical.

the key tidbit from that article for the viewing pleasure of Pakistani keyboard warriors:

"The note highlighted that if India pulls out of the Champions Trophy, ICC members could lose 90% of the $750 million total media rights value. In contrast, if Pakistan opts out, the financial loss would be less than 10% of the total amount."

"It is understood that the ICC Board members, in overwhelming numbers, are going to reject the Pakistan Cricket Board’s demands of a ‘Fusion Model’ and also no assurances will be given to Pakistan about future ICC events in India being held in the ‘Hybrid Model'"

Okay, am I correct to assume that Pakistan opting out isnt even a loss given they won't be getting their share, hence keeping everybody else's share more or less equal?

 

[BouncerGuy]

So india rejected hybrid model as well??

So the problem is not security or hybrid model bla bla... There is something else..

WHAT HAPPENED BCCI????

And neither have they refused to tour India (e.g 2013 ODI series)

good point but I think this is just purely from a broadcasters revenue perspective. Atleast thats how I interpret it.

The answer lies in the replies by all but one of the Indian posters on this forum.
It's called Indian Ultra Far Right Nationalism.

To keep themselves relevant the GOI/BCCI have forced fed them narrative and used cricket to beat down Pakistan whilst stoking anti right hatred amongst its call centres

 

[Itachi]

And neither have they refused to tour India (e.g 2013 ODI series)

I don't think that's relevant.

Pakistan has safety concerns for team India.

So PCB could have asked for bilateral in neutral country (if PCB REALLY WISHES for monetary reasons). I don't think this proposal was on the table.

 

[rpant_gabba]

Okay, am I correct to assume that Pakistan opting out isnt even a loss given they won't be getting their share, hence keeping everybody else's share more or less equal?

don't forget the hosting fee. ICC shells out money for stadium renovations. ICC gets to save that too.

It’s useless to engage them in such debates where they dont have a leg to stand on. You will soon obviously be asked not to talk about this. Typical Pakistani response when truth bullets are fired. They think the ICC board members don’t know this stuff. BCCI takes them all in a room minus Mohsin Maqvi and tells them about the situation with Pakistan and they all would be like we understand bro, carry on we ain’t opposing you on this.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What happened now? Out of comebacks already? Why don’t you prove to me that the BCCI is right in this situation? Deep down, you know the PCB isn’t doing anything wrong by wanting to host their first ICC tournament in years. But your exaggerated patriotism, even after leaving India, seems to be clouding your judgment.

If you can prove that you genuinely want no engagement with them, only then will I believe you. Otherwise, all of this just comes across as hypocrisy and jealousy wrapped in drama.

No Indian player is openly supporting Indian team touring Pakistan for CT, in fact the likes of Harbhajan, Madan Lal are openly saying not to go to Pakistan. Most of the Indian players are mum on this topic leaving it to government or BCCI; on the contrary almost all former & current Pakistani players are giving over friendly statements and literally begging India to visit Pakistan for no reason. Why can't these former players just say it's a matter to be decided by government and PCB??

 

[zaidihusain]

BCCI's hypocrisy is reaching next level everyday, they don't want India to visit Pakistan but they want Pakistan to tour India for ICC events?? Why can you simply arrange all Pakistan matches including SF & Final at neutral venue?

This is what happened when my team reached the last 2 finals of ICC tournaments.

You know the answer already, but then political discussions are discouraged in Cricket threads, so I'll refrain from stating the obvious.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Who's more likely to be targeted by radical terrorists in pakistan? Christians or Hindus?

How many Hindus have been targeted in Pakistan? Please share the exact numbers if you have credible data to support your claims. Otherwise, these remain unsubstantiated assumptions. To start, you could also provide statements from groups explicitly targeting Indian players.

Perhaps you weren’t around during India’s tours of Pakistan in 2004 and 2006, but those of us who were remember the warm and welcoming reception from Pakistanis. The only thing that seems to have changed since then is the rise in hate propagated by the blind followers of a 'chaiwala' who, ironically, didn’t hesitate to meet his “chaddi buddy,” Nawaz Sharif.

Despite facing hostility from people like you, Pakistan continues to visit India. Meanwhile, India refuses to tour Pakistan, even though their fans are eager to welcome Indian players. That’s the difference.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

You know the answer already, but then political discussions are discouraged in Cricket threads, so I'll refrain from stating the obvious.

I don’t know the answer, so please enlighten me. And don’t disappear like your buddies often do here. I am waiting.

They target anyone they want. Depends on their mood. But they have special hatred for idol worshippers who they failed to convert for 500 years.

But its not happening from your side at all. You don't want to come to Pakistan or play bilateral, totally your decision. As pathetic as it is just like us in the 1990s. But then you insist we come to India everytime too for tournaments. How does that make sense?

Personally I have no interest in playing India at all but before this I was happy for tournaments but if it must happen then it should all happen at neutral grounds. India demands we do the same, so should India and infact it would help ease the worries of your rabidly racist society that the team from your the alleged origins of 2008 isn't entering India. Its your country right now not accepting this and insists our teams are placed in the same groups and then also visit your country.

No thanks.

No thanks.

Some of their arguments seem pretty weak when they have to dig all the way back to the 1990s to support their claim. I mean, the 2004, 2005, and 2006 tours happened after the 90s, right? Did the BCCI forget that, or have they lost their memory? Or are these desperate fans just running out of ideas to stay relevant in the argument? If the BCCI was so eager for revenge in the 90s, why didn’t they act then?

It really highlights how inconsistent, confused, and hypocritical both the BCCI and some fans have been. And let's be honest, these same fans will be the first to switch on their TVs when India faces Pakistan.

 

[Slim]

If BCCI and indians had any actually honor and actually cared about their so called “jawans” they would simply bow out of champions trophy and not invite Pakistan to play any icc tournaments.

But they seem to be begging PCB to play hybrid and desperately want them to come to India.

Either they are just plain shameless hypocrites or the lives of their heroic jawans are super cheap.

Take your pick.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

They target anyone they want. Depends on their mood. But they have special hatred for idol worshippers who they failed to convert for 500 years.

‘BCCI accepts two-way hybrid model to resolve Champions Trophy deadlock with PCB’

The two-way hybrid model proposed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to address the issue of India’s refusal to send its team to Pakistan for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy has been accepted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), sources told Dawn on Friday.

The development potentially clears the way for the tournament, scheduled to be held in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9 next year.

Well-placed sources said that the hybrid model will be presented to the International Cricket Council (ICC) Board for final approval during an online meeting scheduled for Saturday.

“Yes, the ICC Board meeting is confirmed for Saturday, and the hybrid model will be presented,” a source close to the matter said. “There are positive signals indicating that the BCCI has agreed to the PCB’s proposal. After the ICC Board’s formal approval, the model will be implemented.”

Under the hybrid model, neither Pakistan nor India will travel to each other’s countries for future ICC events. Instead, matches involving the two teams will be played at neutral venues.

However, is yet to be revealed for how many years this formula would be applied. Reports suggest that the PCB has already entered negotiations with the Emirates Cricket Board to host India’s matches of the Champions Trophy in Dubai.

While India have not toured Pakistan in the past 18 years, Pakistan have visited India four times during this period. India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, which is the first ICC event the PCB is hosting in 28 years, has once again underscored the strained bilateral cricket ties.

The last time Pakistan held an ICC event was during the 1996 World Cup, which it co-hosted alongside India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.

Sources also revealed that PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, currently in Dubai, held an informal meeting with the newly appointed ICC chairman, Jay Shah, who also serves as the BCCI secretary.

“It was just an informal meeting, and no discussions regarding the Champions Trophy took place,” the sources clarified.

In another development, Shammi Silva, the head of Sri Lanka Cricket, was appointed as the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), replacing Shah, who was elevated to the position of ICC president on December 1.

According to a PCB official, the ACC chairmanship will transition to the PCB from January 2025, in line with a decision made during the last ACC meeting in Malaysia.

“As Shah had to step down from his ACC role to take over as ICC president, Silva was appointed as interim chairman until January 2025, after which Mohsin Naqvi will assume the position,” the official added.

[FearlessRoar]

The Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Mohsin Naqvi, declined to comment on the latest developments surrounding the Champions Trophy 2025 deadlock

Speaking to the media at the LCCA Ground, Naqvi mentioned that he would not discuss any premature developments. "I am not going to speak about any developments at this stage. Yes, discussions are ongoing. Today's meeting has also been postponed. We are waiting for the ICC to resolve the matter," Naqvi said in response to a reporter's question.

However, Naqvi remains hopeful that the final decision will benefit both Pakistan and international cricket.

When asked about the stance of Jay Shah, the newly appointed ICC president, on a neutral approach to international cricket, Naqvi responded, "It should happen. If the ICC stays neutral, it would be good for international cricket."

Earlier, an Indian media outlet reported that the BCCI had agreed to the new model, though the Indian board has not yet made an official announcement.

According to the Press Trust of India (PTI), the 2025 Champions Trophy could be held in both Pakistan and the UAE, with India's matches taking place in Dubai.

Meanwhile, the PCB has emphasized the need for a formal written guarantee from the ICC.

Black day in Indian history? Will it be celebrated in India every year from now on?

if India vs Pakistan falls on the 27th February that would be great

Who accepted? This heading need to be corrected.

BCCI demanded a hybrid model, and PCB accepted it.

For some Pakistani fans and media , it's a way to console themselves by writing statements that convince them. Lol, the thread title.

heading is absolutely fine. since you have Reading comprehension issues I'll make it simple for you.


BCCI: I Will Not Visit Pakistan

ICC: Mr Pakistan, BCCI are having a tantrum again we might have to do this in a hybrid model.

PCB: Mr ICC, I wont do this in a Hybrid Model, no way unless BCCI accept to host us in a Hybrid model too in future tournaments

ICC: Mr Pakistan, BCCI after throwing all the toys out of the pram, showing some fake bravado and twisting few words here and there to make them self look good they have accepted the hybrid model.

PCB: ok if india accept hybrid model we will also accept the hybrid model.

But its not happening from your side at all. You don't want to come to Pakistan or play bilateral, totally your decision. As pathetic as it is just like us in the 1990s. But then you insist we come to India everytime too for tournaments. How does that make sense?

Personally I have no interest in playing India at all but before this I was happy for tournaments but if it must happen then it should all happen at neutral grounds. India demands we do the same, so should India and infact it would help ease the worries of your rabidly racist society that the team from your the alleged origins of 2008 isn't entering India. Its your country right now not accepting this and insists our teams are placed in the same groups and then also visit your country.

No thanks.

I didnt say india dont do that.. Just pointed out Pak too do that..

Champions Trophy deadlock continues as Naqvi confirms ICC meeting delayed​

Deadlock over next year’s Champions Trophy continued as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said on Saturday that an International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting to discuss the issue was delayed.

The tournament, scheduled to take place in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9, has become embroiled in a dispute, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refusing to send its team to Pakistan, citing political and security concerns, despite assurances from all member boards regarding the security arrangements and the tentative match schedule.

BCCI representatives on Thursday turned down the PCB’s proposal of adopting a “partnership formula” for the next three years as part of efforts to break the ongoing deadlock between the two parties.

Addressing the continuing deadlock while speaking to the media in Lahore today, Naqvi said: “We had a meeting [with the ICC] today, it’s been postponed. Once the details have been finalised we’ll update you.”

Naqvi refused to answer or comment on any alleged developments with the ICC or the BCCI regarding the Champions Trophy, only saying that “we will not disappoint the nation”.

“Talks are still ongoing but I do not want to say anything that is premature. We are aiming to achieve the best for Pakistani and international cricket,” he said. Responding to another question, he refused to comment, stating that he did not want to “hurt negotiations”.

Naqvi said Pakistan was playing a “positive role” in the talks.

Answering a question about newly appointed ICC chief Jay Shah, Naqvi did not comment, only replying: “If the ICC progresses, cricket will progress. If there is a dent in the ICC it will be felt across the world.”

With the BCCI having unofficially communicated to the tournament organisers last month about the Indian government’s refusal to allow the country’s cricket team to visit host Pakistan, a hybrid model was reported to have been agreed upon earlier this week.

The model, in its originality would have seen India play their Champions Trophy matches at a neutral venue, while the rest of the tournament is held in Pakistan. The PCB, however, had added a ***-for-tat condition to it; Pakistan would also play their matches at neutral venues when India host an ICC tournament in the future — it being dubbed as the “partnership formula”.

The PCB initially wanted the condition to be applied until the end of the current Future Tours Programme cycle of the ICC, which culminates with the 2031 Cricket World Cup. With the BCCI disagreeing to it, its Pakistan counterpart proposed the same for the next three years.

Amid political tensions between the two neighbours, the BCCI has stood firm by the Indian government’s policy of not engaging with Pakistan in terms of bilateral cricket over the years.

However, after having played the last bilateral series against each other in 2012, Pakistan and India have competed in ICC tournaments and the Asia Cup. Pakistan, in fact, visited India to feature in the ICC World Cup last year.

The visit, if anything, heightened expectations of India returning the favour by touring Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. But with that not being a realistic possibility and the hybrid model established as the only way out, the PCB wants things to be done on “equal terms” as Naqvi said last week.

The Champions Trophy issue has coincided with BCCI secretary Jay Shah taking charge as the ICC president on Dec 1. It is understood that Jay, son of Indian Home Minister Amit Shah — a key leader of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, the country’s ruling party — tried his best to delay his arrival to office until the deadlock between the Pakistan and India’s cricket representatives was broken. The issue, however, continued.

Sources said the PCB has come to realise its role in the ICC’s politics and is playing all its cards to “bring India to the breaking point”. Meanwhile, however, broadcasters are pressurising the ICC to release the Champions Trophy schedule, with the tournament less than three months away.

India trying it best to stall and get a different outcome.

Will be a test of Mr Shahs mettle. Will he be ICC Chief and do what's best for cricket or listen to his papa and uncle and do what's best for BJP vote bank.
