Pakistan is slated to host the ICC Champions Trophy next year, but India's reluctance to participate has created significant challenges.

India has not travelled to Pakistan since 2008, and also refused to play the Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan.

The UAE has hosted a few events in recent years involving India and Pakistan such as the Asia Cup 2018 and the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. With expats from both nations residing in the UAE, it is a very likely option to host India’s matches if the ICC decides on a hybrid model.

Pakistan initially did not accept the demands put in place by BCCI, it has been reported that the PCB has agreed to the hybrid model, with India's matches set to be held in Dubai.
