The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has faced a setback as India has declined to visit Pakistan, leading to the possible relocation of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Monetary compensation is expected to be offered to Pakistan, while the USA is being considered as the potential venue for the tournament. Additionally, discussions are underway to shift the venue of the T20 World Cup 2024, with England emerging as the frontrunner to host the event instead of the originally allocated West Indies and the USA.
Due to India’s refusal to visit Pakistan, the ICC is contemplating moving the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to a different location. Pakistan is likely to receive financial compensation, while the USA has emerged as a possible alternative venue for the tournament. However, discussions are ongoing among cricket boards, the ICC, and other stakeholders, and no final decisions have been made.
In addition to the ICC Champions Trophy, there is speculation about a change in the venue for the T20 World Cup 2024. England is considered a strong contender to host the tournament, replacing the originally designated hosts, West Indies, and the USA. The suitability of England in terms of organizing the event in June, the month originally allocated to the Caribbean and the USA, has made it an attractive option. Broadcasters for the upcoming ICC media rights are reportedly interested in this proposed idea.
If England were to host the T20 World Cup 2024, it may affect the hosting plans for the T20 World Cup 2030, which were initially assigned to England, Ireland, and Scotland. The allocation of the 2030 tournament could be subject to change depending on England’s role in hosting the 2024 edition.
