The Champions Trophy, returning to the calendar after eight years, faced many challenges after BCCI refused to send their team to Pakistan. Things only got better on December 19 when the PCB agreed on a neutral venue process. The process is set to continue for three years for the India-Pakistan matches and for the tournaments that will be held in India and Pakistan. The PCB chose UAE over Sri Lanka as the neutral venue.
