Discussions about the venue for Pakistan-India matches in the upcoming Champions Trophy are reportedly nearing a resolution, according to informed sources. The International Cricket Council (ICC) is expected to announce the tournament’s schedule soon, signaling progress in addressing venue-related challenges.
Sources reveal that behind-the-scenes discussions among stakeholders have positively influenced the decision-making process, allowing matters to move forward. This development follows delays in previous ICC meetings intended to finalize the venue and schedule for the much-anticipated matches.
The ICC had planned a critical meeting to address the issue, but it was postponed due to the absence of a response from the Indian cricket board regarding Pakistan’s demands for hosting rights. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) remains firm in its position that Pakistan should host the matches, contributing to the delay in reaching a final decision.
