Champions Trophy 2025 schedule: Will broadcasters demand T20 format again?

While uncertainty around the format of Champions Trophy, media reports suggest that 15-match event will follow a hybrid model-10 games in Pakistan & 5 potentially hosted in the UAE or Sri Lanka
The article from Business Standard discusses the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy, which is set to be hosted by Pakistan. There is speculation about whether broadcasters might push for a T20 format instead of the traditional 50-over format due to the growing popularity of T20 cricket. The last Champions Trophy in 2017 was a success in terms of viewership, but the format has been under scrutiny since. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has not yet confirmed the format, but there's a debate on whether the event should adapt to the current trend favoring shorter formats to attract more viewers and align with the lucrative T20 leagues around the world. Additionally, the article touches on the logistical and political challenges of hosting such an event in Pakistan, given the security concerns and the ongoing tensions with India, which could affect team participation and broadcasting rights.
