The Champions Trophy will be hosted in a hybrid format with Pakistan as official hosts. The tournament will be played a three venues in Pakistan -- Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi- and in Dubai, where India will play all their matches, including the semifinal and final if they qualify, as an agreement between the ICC, PCB and the BCCI.
