The highly anticipated ICC Champions Trophy returns in 2025 after an eight-year hiatus, bringing together the world’s top eight ODI teams. The ninth edition of the tournament will be held across Pakistan and the UAE, with matches running from February 19 to March 9.
Defending champions Pakistan will host the tournament, with India set to play all their matches in Dubai under a hybrid model agreement. The competition will kick off with a blockbuster opening match between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi.
The teams have been divided into two groups. Group A features arch-rivals India and Pakistan alongside New Zealand and Bangladesh. Group B consists of Australia, South Africa, England, and Afghanistan. India’s campaign will begin on February 20 against Bangladesh in Dubai.
