PCB does not want Hybrid CT; ICC board to meet today
The Morning Standard|November 29, 2024
A day before an all-important ICC board meeting scheduled to be held virtually to finalize the schedule of the 2025 Champions Trophy, the Pakistan Cricket Board on Thursday afternoon has conveyed to the world governing body that the hybrid model is not acceptable to it.
PCB does not want Hybrid CT; ICC board to meet today

The ICC awarded the tournament to Pakistan, who are reigning champions by virtue of winning the 2017 edition, in 2021. The tournament was originally slated to be held in February-March across Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. However, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) a few weeks ago told the ICC that its team will not travel to Pakistan, that eventually delayed finalization of the schedule. "The PCB told the ICC this afternoon that hybrid is a non-starter and they need to present something new at the board meeting on Friday," a source closely monitoring the situation told this daily. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 4PM IST on Friday.
