ICC may move 2029 champions trophy and 2031 world cup away from India due to tensions

The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is progressing well in India and Sri Lanka despite political tensions between India and Pakistan that arose prior to their match. An Australian newspaper report suggests the ICC may consider relocating the 2029 Champions Trophy and 2031 World Cup co-hosting from India due to these tensions and complications with the hybrid hosting model. India, as current Champions Trophy holders and scheduled hosts, generate the most broadcasting revenue. The ICC is likely to weigh financial interests heavily when deciding whether to proceed with relocation.
