PCB rejected the news of getting Champions Trophy hybrid model, said- people write anything to make news


A PCB source told India Today on Friday, November 8, that Pakistan has not considered a hybrid model and is keen to host the entire tournament across three venues – Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. This clarification comes at a time when there is speculation that the International Cricket Council will announce the Champions Trophy schedule on November 11.

ICC will soon announce the schedule of Champions Trophy

Reports claim that the ICC will announce the schedule of the eight-team tournament without confirming the venue. PCB source said that, “Hybrid model is not under consideration. People write anything claiming to have XYZ sources. People write anything just to get some ideas. As of now, we have not decided anything about this. Our stand remains the same.”

Pakistan previously hosted the Asia Cup in 2023 in a hybrid model, through which India played its games in Sri Lanka. The final was also played in Sri Lanka. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not stated its stand on the senior men’s team going to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. BCCI will remain in touch with the Government of India for this.

According to the provisional schedule proposed by the PCB, the Champions Trophy match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is to be held in Lahore on March 1 next year. The tournament will start on 19 February 2025 with the first match between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi. The final will be held on March 9 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. According to the temporary schedule, all India’s matches have been held in Lahore due to security and logistical reasons.
