ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Schedule: The ICC finally managed to break out an agreement with the PCB and BCCI and confirmed a hybrid model for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in February-March, and the tentative schedule and groups for that are out.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 (CT25) will be played across two countries: Pakistan and a neutral venue. The neutral venue, which is likely to be the UAE, will host India’s league matches and their knockouts if they reach it.
What was interesting was that the ICC also confirmed that a hybrid model will be used for Pakistan’s matches in the ICC events that India are set to host, which are the 2025 women’s ODI World Cup and the 2026 men’s T20 World Cup.
Further, there is also a possibility of a tri-series or quadrangular T20I tournament involving India and Pakistan to offset the financial losses the PCB will incur with the Champions Trophy being shifted to a hybrid model.
