After a virtual ICC board meeting that could not make a final decision over the venue for the 2025 Champions Trophy, uncertainty persists. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi had arrived in Dubai today when Pakistan Under-19 made the headlines with its victory against India. The visit by PCB chairman has, however only furthered questions whether or not the PCB, the BCCI, and the ICC have been able to seal a deal regarding next year's event. Naqvi told the reporters (in Dubai): "We will do whatever's best for cricket. If we adopt any other formula [except hosting the tournament in Pakistan], it will be done on the basis of equality. The most important thing for Pakistan is its respect; everything else is secondary." Naqvi didn't close the possibility of a hybrid model for hosting the tournament, a topic he had spoken about earlier. He said: "A one-sided arrangement is no longer acceptable. It cannot be the case that we continue to go to India, but they do not visit Pakistan. Whatever happens must be on the basis of equality." Reiterating his comments from the previous week at the Gaddafi Stadium, he stressed on the importance of "equality." The remarks have fueled speculation that the PCB may ask for some concessions if they agree to a hybrid model. This could mean that India would play their matches outside Pakistan, but in return, future tournaments held in India would allow Pakistan to play their matches outside India. There could also be some sort of financial compensation for the PCB, although Naqvi had said that decisions would not be made on money.

Any proposal would certainly have to be reviewed and cleared by the governments of India and Pakistan before its final presentation to the ICC. Actually, the Indian government had earlier turned down permission for the Indian team to visit Pakistan; and PCB has always concluded that any decision they make requires strict approval from their government. Naqvi said: "We need to settle this once and for all and whatever happens must see everyone treated equally. Any agreement will not be just for the Champions Trophy, but for the long term." The Champions Trophy begins in less than 90 days on February 19th. The scheduled venues would be Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi though if the hybrid model would be opted then another place outside Pakistan is likely to be included and currently leading contender for this arrangement has been UAE, where today Naqvi met with officials of Emirates Cricket Board (ECB).
