This time the Champions Trophy is being organized in Pakistan. There is not much time left in the tournament.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain and veteran all-rounder Shahid Afridi has supported the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in a tweet for not accepting the hybrid model.
Afridi (Shahid Afridi) tweeted and wrote, ‘By mixing politics with sports, BCCI has put international cricket in an uncertain situation. Fully support PCB’s stance against hybrid model. Especially when Pakistan has toured India five times after 26/11, including bilateral white ball series. It is time for the ICC and its Board of Directors to maintain impartiality and assert their authority.
Let us tell you that India and Pakistan have not played any bilateral series since 2012 but they have been facing each other in ICC tournaments including the ODI World Cup held in India last year. It is noteworthy that last year the Asia Cup organized by Pakistan was also changed to hybrid model, because India refused to play in Pakistan. India then played all its matches in Sri Lanka.
