The International Cricket Council (ICC) has started mulling over the “partnership formula” in a bid to end the deadlock over the hosting of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, sources said on Sunday.
As per the new formula, India will play all their ICC matches, supposed to be played in Pakistan, in Dubai and Pakistan will also play their matches, scheduled to be played in India, in Dubai, the sources said.
The formula will be applicable for the next three years from the Champions Trophy 2025, they said, adding that it was expected to put the issue of CT’s scheduling and venue to rest. So, the sources said, India and Pakistan would not be playing any tournament in each other’s countries during this period.
It has been proposed to add this formula in the host agreement of both the teams, they said.
The tournament, scheduled to take place in Pakistan next year, has become a bone of contention between Pakistan and India, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refusing to send its team to Pakistan, citing security concerns despite assurances.
An online meeting convened by the ICC on November 29 aimed at resolving the issue lasted just 15 minutes without concrete results.
