The board of the International Cricket Council ICC will meet on Friday to discuss the Champions Trophy schedule, after India indicated it will not travel to host nation Pakistan.
Political tensions mean the two countries have not played each other outside of major tournaments since 2008 and India have not travelled to Pakistan for 16 years.
Pakistan did travel to India for the 50-over World Cup in 2023.
Although Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has previously rejected the idea of a 'hybrid' staging of the tournament, with India playing their matches in a different country, it now looks increasingly unlikely the tournament will take place solely in Pakistan.
The situation is complicated by protests in the Pakistan capital Islamabad involving supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan, a former captain of the Pakistan team.
On Tuesday, the Sri Lanka A team's tour of Pakistan was cut short because of the protests.
