In a significant development around Champions Trophy 2025, the ICC is mulling to move the prestigious fifty-over tournament completely out of Pakistan. It is a big blow for PCB and Pakistan as latest reports suggest that the ICC is exploring an option of moving the tournament to Dubai, Sri Lanka or even South Africa. 

According to reports from SportsTak, ICC is exploring all options and as hybrid model remains the top-choice, moving the tournament out of Pakistan is also an option now. 

According to the report, the ICC is preparing three different budgets for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan. One for hosting it in Pakistan, the other one for hybrid model and the latest for completely moving the tournament out of Pakistan. 

 "The Champions Trophy hosting rights are with Pakistan but the ICC is still exploring options and has accordingly, prepared three budgets for three different models. The Indian Govt hasn't yet cleared BCCI to travel to Pakistan; chances are almost nil so the ICC is also working realistically on the last two options - Hybrid and moving it out of Pakistan altogether," reported SportsTak.

PCB Dismisses Rumours Of Hosting Finals In Dubai

The latest reports suggest that the apex governing body has identified three potential venues which are Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Dubai, but the hosting rights will stay with Pakistan. 

However, on Tuesday, October 8, there were reports that hybrid model is the preferred option and Dubai might host the finals. However, the PCB dismissed such rumours and stated that there is no such plan to host the finals in Dubai and remarked that the entire tournament will be held in Pakistan.
