Pakistan To Miss Out On Hosting Champions Trophy 2025? Report Says “ICC Will Never…” | Cricket News

[ad_1] A 'hybrid model' to host next year's Champions Trophy in Pakistan remains an option as India's participation cannot be decided by the ICC if there is a government policy against it, a source in the governing body's all-powerful executive board told PTI on Friday.
