While the virtual meeting is expected to be re-convened in the next few days, as Pakistan once again rejected the proposed hybrid model for hosting the event. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi reiterated Pakistan's stance against the hybrid model, despite India's firm refusal to tour the country due to government restrictions.

The apex cricket board is expected to re-convene in the coming days to discuss and finalise the future of the tournament, which was initially planned to be held in Pakistan from February to March 2025.

    Just in: However, the ICC Board meeting lasted only 15 minutes before it was decided to re-convene it in the next few days. The meeting is expected to be reconvened in the next few days, but for that to happen PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi has been given an ultimatum as he will have to come up with a response from the Pakistan government about their final stance on the all-important Champions Trophy 2025. 

    Here are the possible scenarios for the Champions Trophy 2025:
     
    A. Hybrid Model - All India matches, one SF and Final to be staged outside Pakistan. 
    B. The tournament is pulled out of Pakistan and staged in a different country. 

    In case the tournament t is moved out of Pakistan, there is also a possibility that Pakistan may not be one of the eight participating nations in the tournament.  Despite all the speculations floating around, hybrid model continues to remain the biggest possibility for the Champions Trophy next year, with the Pakistan Cricket Board keeping its hosting rights.
