New Delhi: The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is set to be played on a unique hybrid model, as confirmed by the ICC on Thursday. The decision puts an end to all speculations surrounding the tournament format. This comes after the BCCI had declined the Indian team's tour of Pakistan due to security concerns, leading to uncertainty about the tournament schedule. Under the hybrid model approved by the ICC, the Indian team will now play their matches at a neutral venue, ensuring the safety and security of all players involved. This move has been welcomed by fans and players alike, as it allows for a fair and competitive tournament. In light of these developments, Pakistani batsman Ahmed Shahzad has voiced a surprising suggestion, further adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy.

‘Stadium should be built on India-Pakistan border’:
Ahmed Shahzad believes that a stadium should be built on the India-Pakistan border so that both teams do not face any problems in playing. Ahmed Shahzad quipped that after building a stadium on the India-Pakistan border, the gates should be opened on both sides, towards both India and Pakistan… Players of both countries will come from their respective gates and leave after the match is over, but despite this, BCCI and the Indian government will have problems. He also said that after the hybrid model was approved, Pakistan has lost a big opportunity to host the Indian team.

‘PCB should forget that the Indian cricket team will come here…’:
Ahmed Shahzad said that the Pakistan Cricket Board should forget that the Indian cricket team will come here. ICC events were a good opportunity, but they could not happen. Let us tell you that Pakistan will host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but the Indian team will play its matches at a neutral venue. Apart from India and Pakistan, there will be teams from Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Afghanistan and Bangladesh in this tournament.
