New Delhi: The Champions Trophy 2025 row has turned into a never-ending conundrum as the suspense over the nature of the big ICC event remains hidden. The 2025 edition which is supposed to be held in Pakistan, is facing a lot of trouble after India’s refusal to fly to the neighbouring nation due to the long-pending political tensions between the two countries.
According to a report published in the Indian Express, the apex cricket body had a virtual meet with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), where a hybrid model was proposed to them, which will see the semi-final, final and India’s three matches being held at a neutral venue. However, it’s being said that Pakistan has still maintained their stance of not agreeing for a neutral venue and insisted that all the matches take place in their country.
