During the impasse around the Champions Trophy and India's reluctance to travel to Pakistan, a compromise was arrived at for all parties to agree upon the hybrid hosting model of the event. India alone played its matches in Dubai while the rest of the tournament went on as scheduled in Lahore and Karachi.
ICC said then in a release: India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC Events during the 2024-2027 rights cycle will be played at a neutral venue.
Political tensions between the two countries have prevented bilateral cricket outside major tournaments since 2008, with India last visiting Pakistan 16 years ago. However, Pakistan did travel to India for the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.
The top four sides from the round-robin stage in this tournament will progress to the semifinals with first place playing fourth and second taking on third.

'I can give my blood for this team': Kagiso Rabada after historic WTC title win
Kagiso Rabada (Image credit: ICC) South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada said that winning the World Test Championship (WTC) title was even more memorable given the team's "fairly inexperienced" status, yet they managed to secure a remarkable victory against a star-studded Australian side. Led by skipper Temba Bavuma, the Proteas ended a 27-year-long wait for an ICC trophy by defeating Australia in the WTC final at Lord's, with Rabada playing a crucial role by taking nine wickets in the match. "We are a fairly inexperienced team who got together about a year ago, we have not been with each other for a long time, and we have gone on and produced this. I'll never forget this in my life, none of the boys will forget this," Rabada told the ICC. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Rabada, a key figure in South Africa's pace attack, said the win felt even more special considering the quality of the opposition — players his younger teammates had looked up to growing up. "Australia are a well accustomed team and with all due respect, a bit of an aging team. Some of those guys were playing when we were still in high school. If you put into perspective for the younger players what that's like. It is special, it hasn't sunk in. "This has given us confidence we can do it again," added Rabada, who surpassed Allan Donald to move into fourth place on South Africa's list of all-time Test wicket-takers. Despite his match-winning performance, Rabada said he prefers to view himself as a hard-working team player. "I don't see myself as a star. I see myself as someone willing to work, give my blood for this team and continue working hard and improving. That's me as a cricketer, always wanting to improve and playing for the badge with a lot of pride. That's the way I'd like to see everyone play. "Every game I play, I'm looking to get wickets. I'm not going to go into the game thinking 'I need to get seven wickets for us to win', I look at it as an opportunity to get as many wickets as I can to help the team," he added. Rabada currently holds the best strike rate (38.9) among bowlers with more than 150 Test wickets. Rabada, who picked up a five-wicket haul in the first innings and continued to trouble batters in the second, admitted that the latter spells were tougher, but he focused on staying composed. The making of Dhruv Jurel: Kargil war hero's son who chose cricket over the Army "I've been working extremely hard, those second innings spells are the ones that count a lot more -- when you are a bit tired and behind in the game. "It was just about staying calm and looking at what was in front of us. All mayhem broke loose, we got five wickets in I don't know how many overs, it was a crazy game of cricket. "There are normally two voices in your head - one that doubts and one that believes. That is the one we keep feeding, especially in big moments like this, the World Test Championship final. That is why you saw the performances you saw. It is testament to our team this season."

Smriti Mandhana reclaims top spot in ODI batting rankings
India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana on Tuesday moved up to the top spot in ICC ODI batting rankings for the first time since 2019 after South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt lost 19 rating points in the latest update. Mandhana has a total of 727 rating points followed by England captain Natalie Sciver-Brunt at 719. Wolvaardt is now third with 719 points. The next two Indian batters in the list after Mandhana are Jemimah Rodrigues and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who are placed 14th and 15th respectively. India and England are set to face off in five T20Is and three ODIs later this month. While Mandhana has sat inside the top 10 on the list for ODI batters in recent times, the left-hander hasn't held the premier position since the start of 2019 as a drought of more than six years comes to an end. The India opener has been in excellent touch of late and scored a superb century during the final of India's recent tri-series against Sri Lanka and South Africa in Colombo. Mandhana is also ranked fourth in the list of batters in T20Is. It was Mandhana's 11th ODI century of her career and contributed to the left-hander improving her rating past Wolvaardt, who managed scores of 27 and 28 in South Africa's recent ODI contests against the West Indies.

With Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli, Have We Seen The Last Of Stars? As They Fade So Does An Era
The cricketing world witnessed a deeply emotional moment in May 2025 when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from Test cricket. They have already retired from T20Is and now retiring from Test format marked the end of an extraordinary chapter in Indian cricket history. Fans, experts, and fellow players alike grappled with the realization that two of India's greatest had finally hung up their boots. After having witnessed the future, the clip of Sunil Gavaskar predicting India's future in 2012 Asia Cup feels the perfect teaser to their moviesque careers. While Chasing a mammoth score of 330 against India's arch rivals Pakistan, during a match of Asia Cup 2012, a 25-year-old Mumbai prodigy and a 24-year-old promising batter from Delhi were batting together. One of India's greatest Cricketers, Sunil Gavaskar predicted on the commentary -'I think we have glimpsed the future, the future of Indian batting, Rahul Dravid has just called it a day, You don't know how long will Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman are gonna be around, But I think that is the glimpse of India's batting future'. The two cricketers were Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, just as Gavaskar predicted both went on to score record breaking runs for the country bringing glory to the nation with their impeccable performances across the globe. The two colossal figures had a different journey but what followed was nothing short of greatness. Rohit Sharma announced his arrival in International cricket in the inaugural T20 World Cup 2007 helping India win the trophy with his valuable contributions, including a quick 30 knock in the final against Pakistan that turned out to be the difference. Virat Kohli on the other hand was fast-tracked in the team after winning the 2008 U-19 World Cup under his captaincy. Virat later was a key part of India's 2011 World Cup win. Both players grew into being loved figures in Indian cricket, setting numerous records and winning multiple ICC trophies between them. Rohit has Three double centuries in ODIs and Five T20 International Centuries to his name. and holds the record for the highest individual score in ODI (264). Kohli dominated all three formats with consistency and passion, becoming the face of Indian cricket for over a decade. Rohit has 49 international centuries while Virat has 82 centuries, just second to Sachin Tendulkar's hundred hundreds. Together, they have contributed to four ICC trophies for India: Rohit with the 2007 T20 World Cup, Kohli with the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the duo jointly with the 2013 and 2025 Champions Trophies and the 2024 T20 World Cup. Their rivalry and camaraderie created one of the most compelling chapters in modern cricket, attracting millions of fans and generating fierce but affectionate debates between their supporters. Amidst the social media nation fighting between Rohitians and Viratians, the two greats decided to retire from both the formats together, first from the shortest format of the game during the T20 World Cup in June 2024 and then in May 2025 from the whites. While their departure will undoubtedly leave an irreplaceable void, The question that lies with India is, Will we ever be going to replace The King and The Hitman? The Show Must Go On Can Be Replaced From Game, But Never From Hearts The Future of Indian Cricket: Searching for Successors Balancing Legacy with Reality The Indian cricket team now stands at a crossroads. The game demands not only talent but also leaders who can inspire a fragmented fanbase and navigate the commercial complexities of modern cricket. Whether the current crop of players can rise to that challenge remains to be seen. As Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli bow out, the nation celebrates their monumental contributions while anxiously awaiting the emergence of the next generation who will carry forward the legacy. The journey continues, but the era of RO-KO will remain unforgettable. Imperfectly Perfect Both Rohit and Virat had their flaws like Rohit's recurring fitness issues and questions over his agility in the field were talking points throughout his career. He even missed some key SENA tours because of it while Kohli, supremely fit, was at times criticized for being overly aggressive, both on and off the field, with captaincy decisions that didn't always pay off. His abrupt removal from ODI captaincy also exposed cracks in team management dynamics during his later years. But perhaps it's those very imperfections that made their success so relatable. They were never robotic, they were passionate, vulnerable, and always human. Their battles with form, their bounce-backs, and the emotional transparency they displayed only deepened the connection with fans. Personality Poles Apart The two just like their cities have been poles apart but Just like how an India needs both a bit of Delhi's aggressiveness and Stature, it also needs a Serene and Calm Mumbai. Just as India draws strength from both Delhi's boldness and Mumbai's quiet resilience, Indian cricket has flourished because of both, the aggression and grandeur of a Delhi-born Kohli, and the calm, relatable grace of a Mumbaikar like Rohit, steady like the city's local trains.
