About ICC Champions Trophy 2025
The ICC Champions Trophy is one of cricket’s most prestigious tournaments, often referred to as the “Mini World Cup” due to its high-profile matches and shorter, more intense format compared to the Cricket World Cup. Established by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1998, the Champions Trophy initially aimed to raise funds for cricket development in non-test playing nations. Since then, it has become a major event on the ICC calendar, attracting top teams and players from around the world.

Champions Trophy 2025: Pakistan as Host
The 2025 Champions Trophy will be hosted by Pakistan, marking the country’s first ICC tournament since the 1996 Cricket World Cup. Given political challenges and India’s refusal to play in Pakistan, the tournament may involve a hybrid model with select matches on neutral grounds. This edition of the Champions Trophy holds particular significance for Pakistan, allowing the country to showcase its improved security situation and modern cricketing infrastructure.
Tournament Overview and Key Matches:
The tournament opens with Pakistan facing New Zealand in Karachi on February 19, 2025.
Other key matches include Pakistan vs. India (potentially on a neutral ground) and high-profile clashes involving teams like England, Australia, and West Indies.
The event will culminate in the final scheduled for March 9 in Lahore.
