Although the discussion is going on and the situation remains liquid, Espncricinfo understands that PCB carried forward its proposal over the weekends in meetings with ICC and BCCI in Dubai. In this, he called for a justified and long -term agreement, which spread beyond the 2025 Champions Trophy, to play outside India during the global programs held there with mutual provisions for Pakistan. It remains to be decided whether such provisions are for the next three years or to the end of the current rights cycle in 2031.
“One -sided system is no longer acceptable. It may not be a matter that we continue to go to India, but they do not visit Pakistan. Whatever happens should be on equality basis.”
While BCCI is tight-tang, the indication is that it may not be ready to accept a hybrid model for their tournament. Either in the case, the PCB will re -organized and investigate the proposal before taking a final decision on the ICC Board Champions Trophy. And both PCB and BCCI will have to confirm that decision by their individual governments. The ICC has temporarily pencil as the date of that meeting on 5 December.
The options on the table for the tournament remain the same when they met briefly last week, otherwise – that the tournament would be based on either a hybrid model with India, playing his game outside Pakistan; That the entire tournament is hosted in another country; Or that the tournament proceeds without India.
In that meeting last week, it was decided to give PCB time to have a separate interaction with the BCCI to later told the ICC that the Indian government had denied the permission of the Indian team to visit Pakistan. Last Friday, a spokesman for India’s Foreign Ministry (Mea) said that “security concerns” meant that India was not ready to travel. During the press briefing, the spokesperson said, “The BCCI has issued a statement, so I will mention it to you.” “He has said that there are security concerns and therefore it is unlikely that the team will be going there. Please look at the statement issued by BCCI.”
No such statement has been released publicly by the BCCI. The PCB says it still has not received an official explanation, cited the reasons for inability to travel to India, although it has demanded one from the moment when the BCCI informed the ICC.
Jai Shah on ICC chair on 5 December
The meeting is widely considered on the Champions Trophy, although it was also a suggestion that it could be a courtesy call for Shah to ring in his tenure.
Along with walking over time – there are only 77 days for the onset date of the event – the ICC finds itself at the disturbing location. It has not yet released the tournament schedule (generally excluded from the incident for 100 days) and has not announced the ticketing process that would allow fans to arrange for travel for eight-team events.
