What is hybrid model?
Hybrid model in cricket is called when a cricket tournament is played in two countries instead of one country, but it is hosted by only one country. In the 2025 Champions Trophy, Team India will play its matches in Dubai (possible country) or in some other country, but the hosting of the tournament will remain entirely with Pakistan. In cricket, a similar model is called hybrid model.
Hybrid model is in discussion from 2023
The hybrid model first came into discussion in 2023. Actually, Pakistan was also hosting the 2023 Asia Cup. India had refused to go to Pakistan for this Asian tournament. In such a situation, this tournament was again played in hybrid model. Then India played its matches in Sri Lanka. However, the hosting remained entirely with Pakistan. The match between India and Pakistan was also played in Sri Lanka. This formula was prepared by the then PCB chief Najam Sethi.
