PCB in a social media post had announced that they'll be conducting a trophy tour in cities Skardu, Hunza and Mazafarabad, which fall in disputed territory of Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

If Pakistan pulls out of the hosting rights then in all likelihood, UAE will host the tournament. The broadcasters on the other hand will want the tournament in the same time zone. The official announcement will be made in the coming weeks after discussions with all stakeholders.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has brought the coveted Champions Trophy to Islamabad ahead of its tour of Pakistan.
