No BCCI-PCB Dialogue on 2025 Champions Trophy at ICC Annual Conference

Written by N Krishnamurthy

The four-day International Cricket Council (ICC) Annual Conference ended in Colombo today and there was no discussion around the 2025 Champions Trophy. The matter wasn’t on the agenda of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) today and there were no discussions even on the sidelines.

“It wasn’t on the agenda so it wasn’t brought up or discussed during the Annual General Meeting,” says an official who attended the AGM.

A senior Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official, who was present in Colombo for all four days, confirmed that there was no dialogue between BCCI and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the Champions Trophy.

“It isn’t a bilateral where two boards will hold discussions. No dialogue happened between us and PCB on the Champions Trophy. Since it wasn’t on any of the agendas, it wasn’t discussed during the AGM too. It is still time away and ICC will handle it,” says a top BCCI official.
