Jay Shah, the recently elected chairman of the ICC, has arrived in Brisbane for a meeting related to the Olympics and to attend the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The timing of his visit is significant, as the ICC is currently grappling with the issue of the Champions Trophy, and Cricket Australia has been a strong supporter of the BCCI's position. Despite now holding an independent position, Shah's influence over the BCCI cannot be overlooked, especially with BCCI joint secretary Devajit Saikia also accompanying him on the trip. This visit may also have implications for Shah's previous invitation to the Sydney Test in 2025.
The ICC has found a solution for the conflict between India and Pakistan in terms of hosting cricket matches. The Pakistan Cricket Board has ultimately agreed to play their games at a neutral venue in exchange for a hybrid model for the Champions Trophy in 2025 and the T20 World Cup in India in 2026. It has been reported that ICC Chairman Jay Shah will hold a virtual meeting with PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi on Saturday to finalize the details of this agreement.
The BCCI has informed the ICC that the Indian team will not be participating in the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan, allegedly due to political directives. This decision has sparked outrage on social media, with memes poking fun at the Jay Shah-led ICC and criticism for being selective in patriotic stances. While the PCB chairman has ruled out a hybrid model for the series, fans have suggested expanding the Wagah border or creating a replica stadium for an India vs Pakistan match.
The International Cricket Council has informed Pakistan that India will not be able to travel to their neighbouring country for the Champions Trophy next year, sending shockwaves through the cricketing community. The PCB has forwarded the email to the Pakistani government for guidance and is still waiting for a response. In the past, Pakistan has made friendly gestures towards India, but the PCB chairman has warned that this may not always be the case. The ICC was set to release the tournament's schedule this week, but the stand-off between India and Pakistan may delay the announcement.
