The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that any official announcement regarding the Champions Trophy will be issued through a press release. This statement comes in response to recent reports circulating in Indian media about the tournament’s hosting arrangements and a proposed “Fusion Formula.”
According to the sources of Leaders team, the Fusion Formula would involve Pakistan hosting the Champions Trophy while refraining from traveling to India for the World Cup. The reports also claimed that this arrangement was allegedly agreed upon in the presence of all ICC board members, though it was not formalized in writing.
Addressing these claims, the ICC clarified that discussions about the Champions Trophy and the Fusion Formula remain ongoing. The governing body emphasized that no formal meeting has been convened to finalize these matters, and any updates or decisions will be communicated officially via press release.
The Champions Trophy, a prestigious event in the cricketing calendar, has garnered significant attention due to the geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, both of whom are key cricketing nations. As per the reports of Leaders team, as stakeholders await an official decision, the cricketing world remains abuzz with speculation about how these developments could influence future ICC tournaments.
For now, cricket fans and media alike will have to wait for the ICC’s official word on the matter.
