A decision on the fate of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy could be made on Monday. Pakistan have reportedly agreed to host the tournament in a hybrid model.

The Pakistan Cricket Board would ask for an added incentive apart from the hosting fee, which is around $65 million.

There has been a lot of conversations surrounding the Champions Trophy 2025 with India refusing to travel to Pakistan over security concerns.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reportedly want a written guarantee from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), ensuring a hybrid model for the next four ICC events in India.

Pakistan is slated to host the ICC Champions Trophy next year, but India's reluctance to participate has created significant challenges.

The last time Pakistan hosted an ICC event was in the year of 1996. The Asia Cup, held in the country last year, was also conducted in a hybrid model, with all of India’s games taking place in Sri Lanka.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has delayed its board meeting scheduled to discuss the hosting of the 2025 Champions Trophy, with India requesting more time to resolve the issue. This delay comes amid Pakistan's firm stance on hosting the tournament, which has put pressure on India to reconsider its position.
