Indian media reports have said several times that the Indian cricket team will not go to Pakistan to participate in the Champions Trophy. On the contrary, they want to organize the event in a hybrid model. India's matches are played in UAE.

However, yesterday, PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi said, 'Our clear position on the match is that if there is any problem with the Indian Cricket Board, India must give it to us in writing. To date, we have not talked about the hybrid model, but we are ready to talk about it.'

On the other hand, a PCB source said, 'No hybrid model is being considered.' That is, to participate in the Champions Trophy, the Indian team must go to Pakistan.

While the PCB has denied the hybrid model. At that time, the Indian media Indian Express, according to the BCCI, said in a report that the Indian cricket team is not going to Pakistan to participate in the Champions Trophy.

A BCCI source said in the report, 'Our position is what it was. And there is no reason to change it. We have written to PCB in this regard. Requested to shift our matches to Dubai.'
