ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played in Pakistan in February-March next year.
The delay was caused by India's refusal to play in Pakistan due to the two countries' hostile ties. India has not visited Pakistan since the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks.
The BCCI wants the tournament to be conducted in a hybrid format, with India's games scheduled in a third nation, ideally the UAE, something Pakistan has not agreed to so far.
"The ICC board will meet on November 29 to discuss the Champions Trophy schedule," an ICC spokesperson told PTI on Tuesday.
While the eight-team ODI competition has been scheduled between February 19 and March, the ICC has yet to officially confirm the dates or schedule.
Mohsin Naqvi, head of the Pakistan Cricket Board, has stated unequivocally that the entire event will be held in Pakistan, at three venues: Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. The PCB has spent millions of dollars to renovate stadiums in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi for what will be its first ICC event since it co-hosted the 1996 World Cup.
The ICC Board comprises representatives from the 12 Full Member countries, three representatives from Associates, an independent director along the ICC chairman and CEO.
The key virtual meeting is held two days before BCCI secretary Jay Shah takes over as ICC chairman on December 1. He and other board members would like to fix the issue before the new regime takes over.
With the Indian government strongly committed to the status quo, the Champions Trophy in a hybrid format with India games outside Pakistan is the most likely possibility.
According to sources, PCB would be offered financial incentives in addition to its USD 70 million hosting costs to agree to the hybrid arrangement.
A similar format was used last year when India's Asia Cup matches were held in Sri Lanka and Pakistan hosted four group games.
In retaliation, PCB has also threatened that it won't send its national teams to India for future ICC events if the latter doesn't cross the border for the Champions Trophy.
