However, an ICC source clarified that an internal meeting may be held on Tuesday to find a solution to the issue. “This is a virtual meeting of the Executive Board members to resolve the issue of the Champions Trophy scheduling once and for all,” he revealed. He said that this meeting has been called because the broadcasters of the program are putting a lot of pressure on the ICC to finalize the programme.
