The board meeting has been called by ICC on November 29. They are gonna decide where and how the champions trophy gonna be played in 2025. As India is not ready to travel to Pakistan nor does Pakistan wish to back down in between,t it's important to get a hybrid model so, that India will be allowed to play games in another country in this the board of committee will be asking the member to provide a solution.

The PCB, which got the rights to host the Champions Trophy in 2021, later sent a letter to the ICC asking why the BCCI gave certain reasons and when they informed the ICC. A PCB official mentioned that they haven't received any reply from the ICC so far.

Last week, he mentioned that he was willing to talk with the BCCI to resolve the situation. An ICC representative confirmed that a meeting took place on Friday, but the PCB has not said anything yet.
