The International Council for Cricket (ICC) has reportedly called for a board meeting on November 29 to discuss the schedule of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

The delay comes amid the standoff between India and Pakistan over the former’s refusal to travel to the neighbouring nation for CT 2025.

ICC calls board meeting to discuss Champions Trophy 2025 schedule

While ICC had approved Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) draft schedule for ICC Champions Trophy, the plan to make the fixtures official was stalled after India refused to travel to Pakistan. Reports had earlier claimed that ICC was yet to hear from the BCCI as to why the team won’t travel to Pakistan for the event. Meanwhile, the PCB decided the write a letter to the global body seeking an explanation for India not traveling to their country. Now, the ICC has called for a board meeting of its members to discuss the schedule for the event amid the deadlock between India and Pakistan.

It is understood that the Indian government has denied permission to the team. While Pakistan has remained adamant over retaining the complete hosting right, the matter seems to be slipping out of their hands. Reports have claimed that the ICC could be mulling India or South Africa as the hosts if Pakistan do not consider the hybrid model.

Dragging India to court for refusing to travel to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025 was one of the threats issued by Pakistan. The other threats include withdrawing from the tournament if a hybrid model is adopted, boycotting future ICC events where India will be participating in and writing a letter to the ICC seeking clarity on why India refused to travel to Pakistan.
