India used to claim itself as a superpower in cricket, but the hybrid model of the Champions Trophy has caused a big loss
All the speculations that were being made about the Champions Trophy 2025, the ICC has now put an end to all those speculations and this tournament will be organized in a hybrid model. It was also being said earlier by the Board of Control for Cricket in India that Team India would not go to Pakistan to participate in this tournament. For this reason, Pakistan had registered its protest before the ICC and as per the ICC's decision, the Indian team will have to play its matches in a neutral venue for this tournament. But despite this hybrid model, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has now suffered a huge loss.
Big loss due to Champions Trophy
The Champions Trophy 2025 will be organized in a hybrid model and preparations for this have also started. Since the BCCI had raised the demand to organize this tournament in a hybrid model, then this demand has been fulfilled. But despite this, the Indian Cricket Board may have to suffer financial losses. At the same time, some people believe that now the image of the Indian Cricket Board will also be questioned at the international level.
Pakistan team will not come to India
The Pakistan Cricket Board has agreed to organize the Champions Trophy 2025 in a hybrid format, but they have got a big condition from the BCCI behind this. Now in the T20 World Cup to be held in the year 2026, the Pakistan team will play all its matches in Sri Lanka. Along with this, if the Pakistan team qualifies for the top 4, then 2 knockout matches of this tournament will also be held in Sri Lanka. Along with this, in the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan can also postpone the tour of India and demand a neutral venue.
Fingers are being raised on India's image
India is the biggest shareholder in the profit of the ICC and apart from this, the ICC gets the maximum revenue from India. In such a situation, if the Pakistan Cricket Board does not send the team for the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup, then questions will be raised on India. Critics say that the Indian Cricket Board should not have bowed down to ICC and Pakistan at any cost.
