Indian media has claimed that the Champions Trophy 2025 will be held under the hybrid model and the International Cricket Council (ICC) and India have accepted all the conditions of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the Champions Trophy.

According to Indian media, with the approval of the hybrid model, the Champions Trophy matches will be held in Pakistan and Dubai. Indian media has also claimed that an unofficial meeting of the board was held in which the ICC approved the hybrid model and an agreement in principle has been reached between Pakistan and India in this regard.

According to Indian media, the Pakistan team will not go to India for the 2026 T20 World Cup and the Pakistan-India league match will be played in Colombo. According to Indian media, Pakistan will not receive any compensation.

Pakistan will host the ICC Women's tournament after 2027, while the issue of the knockout matches of the 2026 T20 World Cup will be decided later. According to Indian media, no written agreement has been reached and only an agreement in principle has been reached.

According to sources, the final decision regarding the Champions Trophy will be taken tomorrow, and the 3-year fusion model is likely to be approved by the ICC tomorrow. According to sources, under the fusion formula, Pakistan is talking to Dubai, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka for 5 matches, while Indian media has named Dubai as the venue.

Sources say that the Pakistan Cricket Board's proposals on the Champions Trophy issue have been accepted.

According to sources, the ICC had offered Pakistan compensation for the transfer of matches from Pakistan, but PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi did not talk about additional compensation in the meeting.

Sources say that negotiations were held between the Pakistan and Indian cricket boards to finalize the matter. Almost all the issues have been finalized in the negotiations. A formal announcement is expected after the approval of all stakeholders by tomorrow. ICC sources say that discussions are ongoing on the issue of the Champions Trophy and an announcement will be made through a press release as soon as the matter is settled. The whole matter will be revealed in the next 24 hours.
