The ICC ‘threat’ that prompted Pakistan to accept hybrid model for Champions Trophy: report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly agreed to host the Champions Trophy in a hybrid model, ending discussions that had been going on for months. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has refused to send its team to Pakistan, citing security concerns. Although Pakistan initially did not agree to the requirements put in place by the BCCI, it was reported that the PCB agreed to the hybrid model, with India’s matches to be held in Dubai.

According to a Times of India report, the PCB was in danger of losing the rights to host the tournament.

“I don’t want to comment too much as it might spoil things. We have given our views (to the ICC), and the Indians have also given theirs. The effort is to ensure a win-win situation for everyone,” he added. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi told reporters in Dubai.

“Cricket must win, that’s the most important thing, but with respect for everyone. We are going to do what is best for cricket. Whatever formula we choose, it will be on an equal footing. “equality,” he added.

The report also claims that PCB wants to receive a greater share of the ICC’s revenue as compensation, which is unlikely to be accepted.

PCB currently receives six percent less than BCCI’s share of 38 percent, and the ICC has already offered them a compensation value well above the accommodation fee.

Even if ICC agrees to give a larger share to Pakistan, other boards may not agree to reduce their shares. which means the BCCI will have to bear the expenses.

Last year, the Asia Cup was also held in a hybrid model after India refused to play Pakistan.

India played their matches in Sri Lanka, including the final. During this time, Pakistan hosted three league matches and one Super Four match.
