An ICC tournament returns to Pakistan
The first major global cricket tournament to be hosted in Pakistan since 1996, the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 promises an action-packed two-week competition, with matches scheduled in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi. The format will feature eight teams divided into two groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to the semi-finals.
The tournament will now be held every four years, featuring the world’s top eight ODI teams, while the Women’s Champions Trophy is set to launch in 2027 in a T20 format.
ICC Chair Jay Shah emphasized the importance of the event, stating, "The ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 represents a pivotal moment for cricket, reviving a tournament that highlights the pinnacle of ODI talent, where every match is critical. The substantial prize pot underscores the ICC's ongoing commitment to investing in the sport and maintaining the global prestige of our events.
