ICC is struggling to finalize the schedule for Champions Trophy 2025 due to unresolved differences between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over the proposed hybrid model.

India's reluctance to send its team to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy has delayed the tournament's progress, including the release of its schedule. India has insisted on playing its matches in the UAE under a hybrid model instead of traveling to Pakistan.

Some stakeholders are even suggesting changing the tournament to a T20 format for easier marketing, if the deadlock continues. The situation remains complex with no immediate solution as time runs out before the tournament begins.

The fate of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 remains uncertain as negotiations between key stakeholders continue. Senior officials from the Pakistan Cricket Board are actively involved

The dispute between PCB and BCCI over the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is still unresolved. The schedule, originally planned for release in November, has been delayed due to BCCI's refusal to play in Pakistan.

Decisions imminent as PCB and ICC officials hold talks in Dubai after BCCI reportedly agreed to most conditions.

It is possible that some stakeholders could resurrect calls to change the Champions Trophy to a T20 format, which is quicker and easier to market than the ODIs.
