ICC meeting adjourned for a later date

Published:


ICC Champions Trophy (PC: X)

The ICC Board held a brief meeting, on Friday,  in order to find a favourable outcome for the Men’s Champions Trophy slated to be held early next year. The Board is set to reconvene again tomorrow or in the next few days. Representatives of all members of the board – 12 full members and three directors from the Associate nations – participated in the meeting. As per the initial framework, Pakistan were scheduled to host the entire duration of the event. 

The ICC is hopeful of coming out with a plausible solution to hold the tournament as scheduled. As per sources, Pakistan Cricket Board are sticking to its stance of not holding the event via a hybrid model, where all of India’s matches would be held at a neutral venue, with the rest of the games being hosted by Pakistan. This particular model was proposed in the backdrop of India deciding not to travel to Pakistan due to long-standing political tensions and security concerns. 

Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal reiterated Board of Control for Cricket in India’s statement when he was asked about the national side partaking in the Champions Trophy. “The BCCI has issued a statement. They have said that there are security concerns there and therefore it is unlikely that the team will be going there…” he said during his Friday’s press conference in Delhi.
