BCCI’s Bold Move: India’s Hybrid Model for ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Cricket fans around the world eagerly await the start of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which promises thrilling action and intense competition. Pakistan will host its first global cricket tournament since 1996, in partnership with the UAE.

The tournament will feature eight teams divided into two groups: Group A includes Bangladesh, India, New Zealand, and Pakistan, while Group B features Afghanistan, Australia, England, and South Africa. Fans are excited about the much-anticipated clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan.

However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently announced that the Indian cricket team will not travel to Pakistan due to ongoing political tensions. Instead, India’s matches will be hosted in Dubai, following a hybrid model. This decision ensures the safety of players while still allowing India to participate in the tournament.

The competition will take place across venues in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi in Pakistan, as well as in Dubai. Each match promises unforgettable moments and showcases some of the best talents in international cricket. With seasoned players and rising stars participating, this event is set to be a must-watch for cricket enthusiasts.
