India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC events during the 2024-2027 rights cycle will be played at a neutral venue, the ICC board confirmed,” said a statement released by the global body.

The Champions Trophy will feature eight teams -- Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa -- divided in two groups of four followed by semi-finals and a final.

India had refused to travel to Pakistan for the event due to security concerns. PCB had earlier declined to play the Champions trophy as per the hybrid model, but backed down after settling on neutral venues for both sides in ICC tournaments.
