Champions Trophy: Pakistan remained firm on not agreeing to a hybrid model during the ICC Board meeting on Friday. The meeting is expected to resume on Saturday as the top brass hopes to finalise the schedule and venues.

The ninth edition of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy was originally scheduled to take place in Pakistan on February 19, 2025, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to send their team to Pakistan due to security issues and demanded a hybrid model.
