Now PCB accepting the Hybrid model and insisting that both India and Pakistan will play their future ICC events in Dubai as the neutral venue, delays are attributed to broadcaster demands, which must be addressed before any decisions are made.

ICC in Deepwater for Concluding the Issue Early
Reports are suggesting that ICC can face complications for failing to release the schedule on time, especially given the financial stakes and the involvement of major stakeholders. As per the agreement, the ICC must announce the schedule of an event at least 90 days in advance. With fewer than 90 days remaining, the International Cricket Council could face significant consequences.
While the Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled for February 19 to March 9, the venues and schedule remain undecided.
