New Delhi: The deadlock between the International Cricket Council, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the Champions Trophy deadlock don’t seem to be heading towards a resolution.

However, a ray of hope was finally seen after the Pakistan board reportedly agreed to adopt the hybrid model, which would see India’s matches being held in Dubai, despite some conditions. Unfortunately, the Indian board has reportedly rejected Pakistan’s ‘conditions’ in which the PCB had asked for ICC events to be held in India and also to adopt the same ‘hybrid model‘.

According to a report from the Telegraph:
Sources told The Telegraph on Tuesday that the BCCI has sent a clear message to the ICC brass in this regard leading to a fresh impasse. The BCCI’s contention is simple – there is no security threat in India and hence no question of accepting such an arrangement…
The Pakistan Cricket Board could also go on to lose its hosting rights for the Champions Trophy next year if its stubborn stance on the matter continues. Earlier, the board had also reportedly threatened to withdraw from the Champions Trophy if the ICC decided to shift the tournament to another country.

What is the India vs Pakistan controversy?
The India vs Pakistan rivalry has become nasty in a heated exchange of words around the issue of the ICC Champions Trophy. The problem started when India decided that it wouldn’t be travelling to Pakistan for the ICC tournament, which is slated to be played in Pakistan in 2025.
According to a report by a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) spokesperson, the board has confirmed to the leading media outlets of India that ICC has conveyed to them regarding India not travelling to Pakistan for the tournament, which is slated to be played from February 19-March 9 next year.
