The “Mini” World Cup is Back
After a long hiatus, the ICC Champions Trophy returns. This 50-over tournament features only the top 8 teams in the world, making every single match a “high-stakes” battle.
The Groups
Group A: India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Bangladesh.
Group B: Australia, England, South Africa, Afghanistan.
The India vs Pakistan Hybrid Model
Due to security concerns, India’s matches are likely to be played at a neutral venue (likely UAE or Sri Lanka), while the rest of the tournament happens in the host country.
Why this Trophy Matters?
For senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, this could be the final ICC 50-over trophy they chase.
