And they are asking what's the problem in India coming to Pakistan
Main Issue is that Why India said yes for Pakistan to host Champions Trophy 2 years back when they very well knew very well situation wont change & Indian Government wont give them permission.

Who is at fault here?
 
Sources said that back channel talks are going on to make PCB understand why the hybrid model is the best way to go for the tournament and why there cannot be an ICC tournament without the Indian cricket team. The sources have also said that top ICC officials are trying to get Pakistan stop making any statements against India.

There are discussions going on with the host Pakistan and other participating teams of the Champions Trophy next year about the schedule and it is likely to be out in a couple of days or so, the sources added. India, the 2017 finalists, will not be playing their matches in Pakistan and their matches will be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said the source.

 
The ICC has called for a board meeting on November 29, hoping to get a clear answer on where and how the 2025 Champions Trophy will be played. With India not willing to travel to Pakistan and with Pakistan refusing to back down and adopt a hybrid model that allows India to play their games in a second country, it is likely members will be asked to vote on a solution. ESPNcricinfo understands the meeting will be virtual and a final decision could be taken after the ICC Board arrives at a consensus.

Mostly postponed by 6 months
 
PCB chairman, meanwhile, said he will do everything to protect the country's interests. "Pakistan will not keep participating in events in India while Indian authorities keep refusing to send their teams to Pakistan. Such an imbalance is not acceptable," Mohsin Naqvi told media in Lahore at an impromptu press conference on Wednesday night. Asked about the scenario of the ICC members voting for a hybrid model, he said, "Our stance is well known. We will safeguard Pakistan's interests."

It is not clear whether the issue will be resolved on Friday itself. The ICC Board is expected to propose alternatives, with the hybrid model being a likely option, and Naqvi may seek time to respond, stating that he needs to consult with his government. A clearer picture is expected to emerge within two days, with the possibility of the fixtures being announced during this time.
