Pakistan and India on Thursday reached a breakthrough in the impasse between the neighbours on the venue for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy \u201cwith a hybrid model\u201d, ESPNcricinfo reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The tournament, scheduled to take place in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9, has become embroiled in a dispute, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refusing to send its team to Pakistan, citing political and security concerns, despite assurances from all member boards regarding the security arrangements and the tentative match schedule.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the month, BCCI representatives turned down the PCB\u2019s proposal of adopting a \u201cpartnership formula\u201d for the next three years as part of efforts to break the ongoing deadlock between the two parties.<\/p>\n
According to ESPNcricinfo, the model would see India playing their matches for the tournament at a neutral venue. In turn, Pakistan\u2019s matches scheduled to take place in India for ICC events until 2027 will also be held at a neutral venue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis agreement applies to the 2025 men\u2019s Champions Trophy in Pakistan, the 2025 women\u2019s ODI World Cup in India, and the 2026 men\u2019s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe neutral venue will be proposed by the tournament host board and will need to be approved by the ICC.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
