The International Cricket Council (ICC) has also started to increase anxiety among commercial partners due to the delay in the schedule of the Champions Trophy.
According to media reports, after the Indian team refused to come to Pakistan, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is delaying the final announcement of the schedule and venues of the Champions Trophy 2025 regarding the hosting.
ICC’s multinational partners and local sponsors associated with the event are facing difficulties in organizing their brand activities and commercial plans due to this delay, while the International Cricket Council has signed long-term agreements worth millions of dollars with all these multinational companies.
The delay in the schedule of the event has affected the brand value, due to which sponsors and commercial partners are in doubt.
Some local sponsors for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan are also in talks for different slots of the event, but due to delays, they are not able to finalize their agreements.
Reports claim that the ICC may make an important announcement regarding the schedule and venues of the Champions Trophy by November 21.
The Indian board is deeply upset with the government’s tough stance after the Indian team refused to come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, while the PCB chairman’s refusal to accept the hybrid model has further disturbed them.
