LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and its Indian counterpart have agreed on the \u201cfusion\u201d model as the solution to the longstanding deadlock between the two bodies over next year\u2019s ICC Champions Trophy.<\/p>\n
The model will see India play their matches of the tournament \u2014 set to be held in Pakistan from Feb. 19 to Mar. 9 \u2014 at neutral venues, while Pakistan would do the same when India hosts the 2025 Women\u2019s World Cup and the 2026 T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n
The agreement over the \u201cfusion\u201d model finally puts an end to deliberations between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the PCB that lasted more than a month with organisers International Cricket Council (BCCI) and broadcasters involved.<\/p>\n
Although Pakistan were awarded the hosting rights of the Champions Trophy in 2021, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had communicated to the ICC last month about the country\u2019s government\u2019s refusal to send its team across the border for the eight-team tournament.<\/p>\n
The unofficial correspondence had given rise to doubts over the fate of the Champions Trophy while also delaying the announcement of its schedule, which was initially set for Nov. 20.<\/p>\n
The \u201cfusion\u201d model was proposed by the PCB as a tit-for-tat version of the hybrid model, which India preferred to be adopted before the PCB, backed by the government of Pakistan, demanded things to be done on equal terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
