New Delhi, India 
On Dec 19 (Thursday), the International Cricket Council (ICC) approved of a hybrid model for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 edition, which will be held in Pakistan -- the original hosts -- and a neutral venue (which will host the India games). In a statement released by the ICC, it also confirmed, "India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC Events during the 2024-2027 rights cycle will be played at a neutral venue."
This means that Pakistan will also not travel to India for their games during the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup and 2026 T20 World Cup (co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka). This has been done to solve the tussle between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as the two cricketing boards have been at loggerheads with regard to the Champions Trophy venue. After India denied travelling to Pakistan, hybrid model has been selected and will continue until the 2028 cycle.

In this regard, the ICC further reiterated in its statement, "This (the hybrid model) applies to the upcoming ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 (hosted by Pakistan), set to be played in February and March 2025, as well as the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 (hosted by India) and the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 (hosted by India and Sri Lanka)."
The ICC has also confirmed that the 2028 Women's T20 World Cup will be held in Pakistan, where the hybrid model will be considered.
Talking about the Champions Trophy, the eight-nation mega event is set to kick off on Feb 19 next year. The final schedule will be out in the coming weeks.

Asian Champions Trophy 2024: All you need to know about India vs Pakistan group stage contest

Uncertainty remains around the 2025 Champions Trophy's venue. Pakistan, the defending champions, are scheduled to host the mega event early next year. However, the bigger question is whether the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will send Team India to Pakistan. Given the prevailing political tensions and security considerations, BCCI remains reluctant. India have not travelled to Pakistan since 2008 and the two teams have not met each other in any bilateral series since early 2013, due to the political tension between the Asian nations. While a final call is yet to be taken, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria admitted that India should not go to Pakistan and advised Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to go for a hybrid model, with India to play their games in Dubai.

Kaneria urged PCB to consider the broader implications and consult with the ICC before going ahead with any decision.&nbsp;

In this regard, Kaneria&nbsp;while speaking to Sports Tak said, "Looking at the situation in Pakistan, I have to say that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan and Pakistan should think about it and then the ICC will make its decision and most likely, it will be a hybrid model, it will played in Dubai."

"The safety of the players is the first priority. Respect is the second priority. There are many things. I think BCCI is doing a great job. I think all the countries will accept the final decision. I think it will be a hybrid model," Kaneria further added.

Meanwhile, PCB's preparations are in full swing with them confident of India coming to Pakistan. Last year, Babar Azam-led Men in Green travelled to India for the ODI World Cup.

As per the PCB draft schedule, India's CT 2025 games are scheduled to be held in Lahore, a location close to the border in order to ease logistical issues.&nbsp;India are placed in Group A with hosts Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand whereas Group B comprises South Africa, Australia, England and Afghanistan.

Notably, none of the current Indian players have played in Pakistan.

CT 2025: Former Pakistan spinner admits 'safety' concerns for India, advises PCB to opt for hybrid model

Pakistan speedster Naseem Shah has opened up on his team’s defeat to India at the T20 World Cup in June as he was left speechless. Speaking on Tuesday (Aug 20) ahead of Pakistan’s home series against Bangladesh, Naseem opened up on the defeat to India where his side was in the driving seat until a late collapse cost them the two points and ultimately a place in the Super 8. After the defeat, the entire Pakistan squad along with Naseem were questioned by the fans for their poor mentality.

<h2>Naseen opens up on defeat to India</h2>

"Though I was not being targeted by the fans or the media, one cannot be satisfied and say I did my bit after your team loses. I am a person who wants to win. I get disappointed even when I lose while playing at home or in my street. I play to win and the World Cup exit pained me a lot," the tearaway fast bowler said Cricbuzz in an interview.

"People come up to me in restaurants and ask me why we lost. Even my relatives have asked about it. I understand their sentiments are driven by social media and, as a player, all I can do is listen to them," he further added.

Pakistan needed six runs per over at one stage and looked on course for their second World Cup win over India in New York on June 9. However, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya led the bowling charge and got India home to win the match. Pakistan would later get knocked out of the tournament after they finished third in the group stage.

The Men in Green will now look to stamp their authority over Bangladesh as they take on a two-match Test series which starts on Wednesday (Aug 21). The series will be of huge importance as vital points in the World Test Championship (WTC) will be up for grabs for both sides.

'All I can do is listen to them': Naseem Shah opens up on criticism faced after T20 World Cup loss to India

Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has&nbsp;requested Team India to visit Pakistan amid the 2025 Champions Trophy row. India and Pakistan play each other only in multi-nation and ICC events, due to the strained political relations since 2008. However, the next year's Champions Trophy is set to be hosted by Pakistan in February-March. At this point, it is unlikely that India will visit the country for the mega event. While talks are on to see how the tournament can be held smoothly. Malik has urged Team India to make a visit to their neighbouring country, saying 'we are good people'.

Malik told Cricket Pakistan, "Whatever reservations there are between the countries, that's a separate issue and should be solved separately. Politics shouldn't come into sports. The Pakistan team went to India last year, and now it's a good opportunity for the Indian team too. I think there are many players in the Indian team who haven't played in Pakistan, so it would be great for them. Hum bahut acche log hai (we are good people). We're very hospitable people, so I'm sure the Indian team should definitely come."

As per a report in PTI, the topic of Champions Trophy’s schedule and format didn't even come up in the International Cricket Council (ICC)'s&nbsp;recently-held annual conference. It further stated that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have left it to the ICC to convince Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to send their team to Pakistan&nbsp;for the showpiece event.

Last year, Pakistan visited India -- after much drama and chaos -- for the ODI World Cup. It will be interesting to see if India does the same this time around. Notably, the 2023&nbsp;Asia Cup was held in hybrid model after India refused to go to Pakistan, i.e. the original host. Thus, team India's&nbsp;games were held in Sri Lanka.&nbsp;

According to the draft schedule, PCB have scheduled all of India's games in Lahore along with the semifinal and final of the 2025 Champions Trophy. Both India and Pakistan are in Group 1 along with Bangladesh and New Zealand whereas Australia, South Africa, Afghanistan and England are in Group 2.

<h2>India win one-sided contest</h2>

Having been tasked to chase 109, India’s opening pair of Smriti Mandhana (45) and Shafali Verma (40) stitched a partnership of 85 runs before the former was dismissed. Needing just 24 more runs to win India would then lose Shafali followed by Dayalan Hemalatha (14) as they lost brief momentum. However, it was the mini partnership of skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (5) and Jemimah Rodrigues (3) that got them over the line.

Syeda Aroob Shah bagged two wickets for Pakistan while Nashra Sandhu had one but were&nbsp;not helped by the batters having&nbsp;108 runs to defend.

While Deepti Sharma was the star with three wickets, three other bowlers also made their mark.

Women's Asia Cup 2024: Deepti Sharma, Smriti Mandhana lead India's charge as Women in Blue hammer Pakistan

The Women's Asia Cup kicks off on Friday (July 19) in Dambulla, Sri Lanka. Defending champions Harmanpreet Kaur-led India face Pakistan in the marquee encounter, which is Match 2 of the competition, as the big-ticket clash is expected to set the tone of the continental event. Ahead of the clash, skipper Harmanpreet spoke on playing against arch-rivals Pakistan. Notably, India enjoy a staggering&nbsp;11-3 head-to-head record against Pakistan in WT20Is -- with the most recent win in the 2023 T20 World Cup in South Africa -- and, hence, they will start as overwhelming favourites. Harman stated that even though the game versus Pakistan is important, their focus is also on preparing for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in October.

At the pre-match presser, Harmanpreet said, "We always enjoy playing against Pakistan but each and every team is important. Whenever we go and play, we always want to play good cricket, and we will follow the same method."

Further, the swasbuckling batter opined, "This tournament is very important for all of us because we give equal respect to this tournament and want to improve at the Asian as well as at the world level. So our focus will remain the same as we prepare for the T20 World Cup or any other World Cup. Each and every game is important for us and we will try to give our best."

"The challenge will be to keep doing the right things which we have done in the past Asia Cups, keep playing the same type of cricket, and keep dominating other teams and enjoy our cricket,” Harmanpreet added.

India are placed in Group A&nbsp;alongside&nbsp;Pakistan, Nepal and UAE whereas hosts Sri Lanka, former champions Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand are in Group B.&nbsp;

India vs Pakistan Women's Asia Cup 2024: When & where to watch live streaming

Former England cricketer David Lloyd slammed the International Cricket Council (ICC) for purposely fixing India versus Pakistan fixtures in ICC events. During the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 edition, being held in West Indies and the USA, India and their arch-rivals were placed in Group A and locked horns in New York on June 9, where Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. won by 6 runs. Lloyd expressed his displeasure with the ICC fixing games, which as per him is just 'trying to manipulate' the audience. Further, Lloyd also lashed out at the governing body for keeping different rules for both the T20 WC semifinals and asked why India do not have a single day-night encounter in the 20-nation showpiece tournament.

During a chat on TalkSPORT, Lloyd -- who represented England in 9 Tests and 8 ODIs -- was asked if the ICC should prevent formatting its major tournaments in a way that India and Pakistan are bound to face-off at least once – basically by putting&nbsp;them&nbsp;in the same group.

<h2>'You're just trying to manipulate. It's just wrong'</h2>

In this regard, Lloyd (fondly known as 'Bumble'), said, "We talk long and hard about fixing in cricket. That's fixed. It's just fixed for a major event. I think the romance of anything like this if they do get drawn together – not that they are – but if they do, there is a romance to it. There's something for spectators to look forward to. So if it happens, then it becomes an event. The game itself is an event. You can't fix it. And that's only part of what we fix. We fix loads to stuff. In this particular World Cup, you're just trying to manipulate. It's just wrong."

Further, Lloyd also pointed out the different rules for both the T20 WC semifinals. Notably, the Afghanistan versus South Africa semifinal, on Wednesday in Trinidad (June 26, local time), has a reserve day in place. However, the same isn't the case for the second semifinal, featuring India and England, on Thursday (June 27) in Guyana. In case of rain delay, it has four hours of extra time without any overs lost.

In addition, India have not played a single day-night game in the tournament, solely to suit the&nbsp;Indian audiences back home. Thus, Lloyd termed all this 'unfair'.

The Englishman stated, "It just isn't fair (to other teams). You can go round and round and talk about forever. We're just manipulating the tournament for the benefit of a few. If you look at the TV audience in India, they would watch anything there and anytime. It is a religion. It is the be all and end all. They would watch it and so it must of such commercial value, that overrides the competition itself."

Lloyd added, "And don't tell me the ICC devises it. Who does it? Whoever it is, this operating group must be told that whilst you're doing it, this must happen, that must happen and that it's a bit unfair to the teams. Come up with the best World Cup you can, you can put together for the supporter."

Former England cricketer SLAMS ICC for FIXING India vs Pakistan matches in mega events

The India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match was yet another occasion where the Men in Green suffered their latest setback which could now see them on the brink of elimination. While the contest was taking place in the United States, far from the original geographical rise of the rivalry, an unfortunate incident took place in Pakistan’s Karachi. A YouTuber lost his life&nbsp;after he was shot while filming a preview for the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup match.

<h2>What was the incident?</h2>

Saad Ahmed, a 24-year-old YouTuber, was shot dead by a security guard in the Serena mobile market in Karachi on June 4. According to eyewitnesses, the YouTuber was in conversation with the shopkeepers and the local public when the incident took place. During this conversation, Ahmed approached Gul Hassan, a security person in the famous Karachi market. During their chat, the flow of the conversation escalated to such an extent that Gul shot Ahmed with his service pistol.

He was quickly rushed to a hospital by the people around him but he succumbed to his injuries. CCTV footage indicated that Ahmed was shot in the shoulder and was bleeding profusely.

A First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged at the Taimuria Police Station after a complaint was filed by the victim’s father, Mukhtiar Ahmed. The FIR names the security guard, the security agency and the mobile market authority that have&nbsp;been accused of negligence despite prior permission for the video shoot.

The local police are understood to have taken appropriate action once the complaint was filed. The security person was detained and his weapon was confiscated with an inquiry underway. It is being reported that certain gestures by Ahmed provoked Gul who then&nbsp;shot the YouTuber.

The local police are understood to have taken appropriate action once the complaint was filed. The security person was detained and his weapon was confiscated with an inquiry underway. It is being reported that certain gestures by Ahmed provoked Gul who then shot the YouTuber.

Security guard shoots dead YouTuber for asking him questions about India-Pak match

Former Pakistan captain Salim Malik has questioned all-rounder Imad Wasim's slow and ineffective knock versus India in the T20 World Cup match, held on Sunday (June 9) in New York. Playing at the&nbsp;Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York, Babar Azam-led Pakistan opted to bowl first and did well to dismiss India for 119 in 19 overs, riding on Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf's three-fers along with Mohammad Amir's 2 for 23. In reply, the Men in Green fell apart -- despite needing 48 in the last eight overs -- to only manage 113/7. While questions have been raised on several Pakistani batters, Malik pointed fingers at Wasim for his 23-ball 15.

Malik said on 24 News channel, "You look at his (Wasim) innings, and it appears as if he was wasting balls not scoring runs and making things difficult in the run-chase."

Talking about Wasim's knock, he came out to bat at No. 5 and struggled throughout the innings on a tricky surface against a disciplined Indian bowling attack. He only managed a boundary and struck at a woeful 65.22 to further dent Pakistan's run-chase. The one-time winners were ahead in the run-chase for a majority part, despite India not letting them dictate terms, however, the middle and lower-order failed to close the chase. Wasim's knock has been severely criticised as the left-hander struggled to get his timing right.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi took a dig at Babar's captaincy after the India loss. "A captain brings everyone together, either he spoils the team environment or he builds the team. Let this World Cup finish, and I will speak openly," Afridi said.

"I have such a relationship with Shaheen (Afridi) that if I talk about him, people will say I am favouring my son-in-law," he further added.

After the India game, Pakistan rode on Amir and Mohammad Rizwan's heroics to beat Canada on Tuesday (June 11) in New York to keep their T20 WC hopes alive. They still need other results to go in their favour and also beat Ireland in their remaining tie to proceed to the Super Eight round in the mega event, being co-hosted by West Indies and USA.

T20 WC: 'It appears he was wasting balls' - Former Pak captain questions Imad Wasim's slow knock vs India

Pakistan's bowling coach Azhar Mahmood has defended Babar Azam-led Pakistani players who have been slammed for shopping and dining out after their T20 World Cup loss versus India on Sunday (June 9) in New York.

Babar &amp; Co. opted to bowl first at the&nbsp;Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York and rode on Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah's three-fers, along with Mohammad Amir's 2 for 23, to dismiss India for 119.

However, the Men in Green only managed 113 for 7 to lose by six runs.

After the game,&nbsp;the likes of Azam Khan were spotted at street eateries in New York whereas some others were seen shopping in the city.

This led to severe criticism of the Pakistan squad, who are at the brink of early elimination at the T20 WC -- being held in West Indies and the USA.&nbsp;

Mahmood, however, defended the Pakistan team while talking to reporters ahead of Pakistan's next game, versus Canada on Tuesday (June 11).

He said, "Life does not end after a loss."&nbsp;

"Have you seen such a thing happening on match day?," he questioned further.&nbsp;

T20 WC: 'Life does not...' - Mahmood defends Pakistan players for shopping and dining out post India defeat

Veteran Pakistan batter Ahmed Shehzad launched a scathing attack on Babar Azam after Men in Green's six-run loss at the hands of India in the T20 World Cup on Sunday (June 9) in New York.

Babar-led Pakistan opted to bowl first at the&nbsp;Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York,&nbsp;and rode on Naseem Shah-Haris Rauf's three-fers along with Mohammad Amir's 2 for 23 to dismiss India for 119 in 19 overs. However, they fell flat in the run-chase, only managing 113 for 7 courtesy of Jasprit Bumrah's 3 for 14 and Hardik Pandya's 2 for 24.

After the match, Shehzad didn't mince his words on Babar, slamming him for his poor strike-rate in T20Is and inability to win key games for the side.

Shehzad, who last played for Pakistan in 2019, alleged that Babar has built a Pakistan team on the basis of friendships.

On a Pakistani cricket show, the right-hander said, "You have hallucinated people by scoring runs against B, C, and D teams. Your salaries were increased by PCB to evolve your game, but you put their money on social media for image building and nothing else."

Shehzad further opined, "Look at your scores in big tournaments, your stats, your average and your strike rate. What kind of a king Babar Azam … Iss king ka kya karu jisne match nahi jitwana hai. (What do I do with a King who does not win you matches). There is a stat that your big scores have come in losing causes.”

The 32-year-old pointed out, "You have picked your friends and given them 40 matches to prove their worth and this is hurting Pakistan cricket. You can give 40 matches to this 40-year-old (pointing towards former Pakistani&nbsp;player Imran Nazir) and he will also give you performances at this age. Look at our domestic performers, they are ignored and they are leaving the country, going to the USA, and UAE to play cricket."

Shehzad slammed Babar for his inability to build a team despite being the captain for five years.

In this regard, he added,&nbsp;"You are a middle-order batter and a leader and you had five years to build the team; but you have not been able to develop a single middle-order batter, there is no proper all-rounder in the team. Aapne kisi ko ban ne nahi diya, aapko sirf thulle chahiye thee, ji aap upar se 15 over khlele, aur fir neeche se aake aaknhe band karke maarte jaae. (You did not develop anyone, you only needed players who hit blindly because you want to bat for 15 overs and then have these players come in and try to hit blindly)."

Babar has had an ordinary start in the T20 WC.

He made an ineffective 43-ball 44 versus USA, against whom Pakistan lost in the Super Over, before only managing 13 off 10 balls versus India.

Time and again, questions have been raised on his strike-rate; i.e. an ordinary&nbsp;129.77 in the format.

Moreover, many have pointed fingers at his inability to stand tall with the bat against stronger teams.

Thus, the right-hander is under the scanner for his batting as well as for his ordinary leadership with Pakistan reeling at the T20 WC, being held in West Indies and USA.

IND vs PAK, T20 World Cup 2024: India beat Pakistan in nail-biting clash in New York

Rishabh Pant is all set to make his mark for Team India in the T20 World Cup as he takes guard against Pakistan on Sunday (June 9). Playing in his first international tournament after a near-fatal car accident in December 2022, Pant will be eager to make his presence felt. However, the Indian batter opened up on how badly he missed the ODI World Cup final having been injured. He also suggested that the match result would have been different had he been on the field during the World Cup which India lost to Australia in November in Ahmedabad.

<h2>Pant opens up on ODI World Cup final</h2>

"If I had played the 2023 Cricket World Cup Final then, we would have either been all out for 150 or 200 runs or would have scored over 300+ runs," Pant said while speaking to India TV’s Rajat Sharma.

Since his accident in December 2022, Pant only returned to action during the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) season. He played the entire IPL season with Delhi Capitals where the side could not clinch a place in the Playoffs. However, the southpaw showed his fitness level and was picked for the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, marking his return to the side after 18 months of staying away from the game.

<h2>India ready for Pakistan clash</h2>

India will be gearing up for the first-ever T20 World Cup meeting against Pakistan in the United States on Sunday which is set to attract a record crowd for a cricket match in the country. This will be the eighth meeting in the T20 World Cup with India leading the head-to-head 6-1. Pakistan’s solitary victory came in the 2021 edition of the T20 World Cup when Virat Kohli's side was outclassed in the UAE.

Sunday’s encounter however will have a lot at stake for&nbsp;Pakistan as the Men in Green could be on the brink of elimination if they lose to India. A defeat for Pakistan coupled with a win for the USA against either India or Ireland will see Babar Azam’s men face elimination in the group stage.

T20 World Cup: Rishabh Pant comments on India's ODI WC final defeat to Australia, says 'if I had played...'

The stage is set for India and Pakistan as the two giants of the world cricket lock horns in the T20 World Cup on Sunday (June 9). The contest which could decide the fate of Pakistan in the T20 World Cup will see the Men in Green enter Sunday's&nbsp;match&nbsp;knowing a defeat could see them face elimination from the tournament, having earlier lost to co-hosts USA on Thursday. So here are the permutations for Pakistan to reach the Super Eighth stage if they lose to India in New York on Sunday.

<h2>What is the current scenario?</h2>

As things stand, Pakistan’s defeat to USA has seen them lose out on valuable two points while India kick started the tournament with a win against Ireland. Babar Azam’s side can currently reach a maximum of six points but a defeat to India will see them reach only four points provided they beat both Canada and Ireland in their remaining two matches.

If Pakistan lose to India, they will need USA to lose to Ireland and India in their remaining two matches which restricts them to just four points. On the flip side, assuming Pakistan win their remaining two matches against Ireland and Canada by a significant margin it will come down to net run rate (NRR) where the 2009 champions will need to have better margin than the USA.

Also if India lose their remaining two matches to Canada and USA, they could also end with four points and will have to depend&nbsp;on the NRR to reach the next stage. However, considering their level of experience in world cricket losing to USA and Canada is almost unlikely.

<h2>What could see Pakistan get eliminated from the T20 World Cup?</h2>

A defeat to India and a win for USA in their remaining two matches will see Pakistan miss out&nbsp;the next stage of the T20 World Cup. Here we also assume India will not lose to Canada and USA in their remaining two matches. USA are more likely to beat Ireland as they are yet to click&nbsp;in the T20 World Cup.&nbsp;A win against Ireland will see USA qualify&nbsp;even if Pakistan win their remaining two matches.

However, a win for Pakistan against India will help them&nbsp;reach the other stage of the game. While&nbsp;USA could go on the backfoot despite causing the upset of the decade after&nbsp;beating Babar Azam’e men.
