PCB Warned Over Stubborn Champions Trophy Stance, Report Says ICC Could Shift Event To...

The Pakistan Cricket Board could see the Champions Trophy being taken to South Africa over the stubborn stance on the hosting model.
Trouble seems to be brewing for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over their stubborn stance of hosting the entire ICC Champions Trophy in the country next year. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already informed the International Cricket Council (ICC) that the Indian team would not travel to Pakistan for the event, over security concerns. Since India's stance became official, the PCB has reportedly also threatened to pull out of the tournament, as a mark of protest against India's stance.
Though the discussions over the fate of next year's Champions Trophy are still at a preliminary stage, it has been reported that the ICC is already looking at South Africa as the potential host for the tournament. If Pakistan doesn't agree to a hybrid model, the tournament could be taken elsewhere.
"Unless the PCB decides to pull out of hosting the Champions Trophy the current plan is to hold India's matches in UAE and the final in Dubai," a PTI quoted a source as saying on Monday.
"The Indian Cricket Board has told the ICC that a Hybrid Model is acceptable to them only if the final is held in Dubai and not in Pakistan," the source further added.
In the wake of the developments and the demands from the BCCI, the ICC also made a lucrative offer to the PCB.
