The matter is stuck regarding where the Champions Trophy will be held
Pakistan has the hosting rights of the 2025 Champions Trophy. But relations between India and Pakistan have gone from bad to worse over the past several years. The Indian team has not visited Pakistan since 2008.
For this reason, the Asia Cup to be held in Pakistan in 2023 was also held in a hybrid model. Regarding the Champions Trophy, speculations are now being made that the entire Champions Trophy will not be held in Pakistan but in a hybrid model. In which Team India's matches will be held in Dubai. However, no official information has been shared by the ICC regarding this so far.
