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 (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.

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

With Pakistan seeking to host their first major ICC tournament in nearly three decades, the ICC Board’s meeting will determine the schedule of the tournament, indicating where each team will play and likely also reserving a neutral venue.

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 Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is ready to accept the Hybrid model for Champions Trophy 2025, but had put forth a one condition before the International Cricket Council.

The PCB shows willingness to accept a Hybrid model for the 2025 Champions Trophy, conditional upon the ICC's consistent application until 2031. This proposal follows PCB's previous opposition and is influenced by political tensions with India.
