According to reports in Pakistan media, BCCI is giving lucrative offers to participating boards to oppose the Champions Trophy in Pakistan or push for the tournament to be played in the hybrid model.

“BCCI secretary Shah has objected to the PCB’s idea to hold a Champions Trophy tour in PoK. The BCCI has no problem if the tour is conducted in any other city of Pakistan or even in a stadium outside PoK or in a mall. But they cannot hold it in PoK,” a BCCI official was quoted as saying by IE.

The Pakistan Cricket Board announced the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 trophy tour, set to start from Islamabad on November 16, amid uncertainty over India's participation. PCB is in consultation with the government seeking reasons for India's refusal to travel to Pakistan,

The schedule for the tournament has also been put on hold and the latest controversy could only make things complex and worse

Pakistan are the defending champions, having won the previous edition of the ICC Champions Trophy in England and Wales in 2017. The change in itinerary has come after Pakistan wanted to take the trophy for a tour to PoK.

The ICC has canceled the planned Champions Trophy 2025 trophy tour to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, dealing a significant blow to Pakistan.

According to PCB, the tour is scheduled to start from November 16 but it wasn't clear at the time of writing whether it will now go ahead on that day

The ongoing controversy surrounding the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has intensified following objections raised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding the planned tour of the trophy to the controversially-claimed region called ‘Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK)’.

BCCI Secretary Rajeev Shukla said that India is clear about its stance and that it will act according to the government's advice.
