Champions Trophy 2025: Latest News, Schedule, Teams and more

Finally, after 8 years of wait, the ICC Champions Trophy returns. Today, we will discuss all the details about the tournaments, teams, schedules, and everything we have learned so far.
The solution has finally come after a significant controversy regarding the hosting issues between India and Pakistan. A few months ago, India informed the ICC about its inability to play the Champions Trophy in Pakistan for security reasons, after which Pakistan, who have invested majorly into hosting the ICC tournament after decades, hit back and said that India wouldn't come to Pakistan, Pakistan will not travel to India in the upcoming ICC events. The thaw in the situation just came a few days back when both the parties and ICC agreed that for the next 5 years, Indian and Pakistan games will be hosted on a neutral venue during ICC events.
Champion Trophy 2017: Revisit
Pakistan won the last Champion Trophy tournament, defeating India in the finals. It was their first ICC trophy since 1996. In the finals, Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman scored a magnificent century (114). At the same time, when India came to chase in the second innings, the Indian top order collapsed in front of Pakistan's lethal bowling, especially Mohammed Amir and Hasan Ali, who took 3-3 wickets each.
