The stalemate over the hosting of Champions Trophy refuses to end as designated hosts Pakistan have categorically denied accepting a hybrid model, while India are firm on their decision to not play the tournament in Pakistan -- leaving the International Cricket Council (ICC) scratching its head looking for a solution.
