The Pakistan Cricket Board has denied these reports but is avoiding any explanation in this regard. According to Indian media, the hybrid model proposed by Pakistan has been rejected. However, ignoring India’s stand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan has supported Pakistan’s proposal and agreed to host the tournament in Sri Lanka.
