As the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy approaches, Pakistan is set to host the tournament. However, BCCI has once again refused to send its team to Pakistan. The ICC revenue sharing model shows the significant influence of the BCCI. Given India’s vast market for cricket, the BCCI’s share reflects its financial contribution to the sport.
The PCB has conditionally agreed to adopt a hybrid model for the 2025 Champions Trophy to deal with the venue dispute. The PCB’s stance highlights the broader question of equal participation in ICC events and the need to find sustainable solutions to ensure the spirit of cricket is not affected by geopolitical tensions.
