ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Will the Champions Trophy happen without India? Pakistan will suffer a huge loss, Aakash Chopra told 3 options.

The matter regarding ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is still hot between India and Pakistan. BCCI and the Government of India have refused to send their team to Pakistan. Also, BCCI had offered to adopt a hybrid model for the tournament. At first, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was reluctant but later Pakistan agreed to it. However, Pakistan had also put a condition on a hybrid model for ICC events to be held in India in the future. After this, a decision was to be taken in the ICC meeting on the Champions Trophy but the meeting was postponed. At present, there are many questions regarding the Champions Trophy. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra has told only three options regarding the Champions Trophy 2025. He has discussed this issue in detail on YouTube.
What if Team India does not play in the Champions Trophy?
Akash said that suppose Pakistan says that the entire tournament will be held in Pakistan, then obviously Team India will not participate in it. Pakistan is getting Rs 593 crore for hosting rights. Akash told what effect will India's not being a part of the Champions Trophy have on the Champions Trophy. He said that the money invested by Star India and Disney of $ 3.12 billion (TV and digital rights 2024-27) in this tournament will be reduced considerably and the broadcaster will have to suffer a huge loss. However, Chopra further said that it is impossible for the Champions Trophy to be held without India. Because no cricket board will agree to this and everyone will suffer losses.
Akash's second model on Champions Trophy
Akash told that the second model is if the Champions Trophy is held on a hybrid model, then the hosting rights will be with Pakistan but a small budget will be added to it which ICC had given separately to Pakistan. If India's matches are held in Dubai, then Pakistan will have to spend 4.5 US dollars (42 lakh rupees) given separately. No one will suffer any loss in this money, neither the Pakistan Cricket Board nor the broadcasters. But according to Akash, Pakistan may suffer a loss in tourism. If the Indian team went to Pakistan, then obviously Pakistan's tourism would increase but if the tournament is held in a hybrid model, then Pakistan may have to suffer a loss in tourism.
What if the tournament is held outside Pakistan?
After this Akash told the third and last model. He told that what will happen if Champions Trophy is not held in Pakistan and Pakistan refuses to host this tournament? If Pakistan does not play in it and boycotts the tournament then it will not get the 600 crore rupees for hosting. In this situation also Pakistan will have to bear the loss. Apart from this Pakistan will have to face many financial problems.
