The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy was the ninth edition of the ICC Champions Trophy. It was hosted by Pakistan Cricket Board from 19 February to 9 March 2025. It featured 15 matches played across three venues in Pakistan and one in the United Arab Emirates.

The tournament was contested by the top eight ranked men's national teams qualified from the 2023 Cricket World Cup, with Afghanistan making their debut appearance in the tournament. Pakistan were the defending champions and were eliminated in the group stage.

India won their third ICC Champions Trophy title by defeating New Zealand in the final.

BackgroundEdit

The ICC Champions Trophy is a quadrennial ODI cricket tournament organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Initially held as a biennial tournament since its inaugural edition in 1998 as ICC KnockOut Trophy, it was rebranded as ICC Champions Trophy in 2002 and has been held as a quadrennial tournament since 2009. In 2016, the ICC cancelled future editions of the Champions Trophy after the 2017 tournament, aiming to have only one major tournament in each format of international cricket.[1] However in November 2021 as part of the 2024–2031 ICC men's hosts cycle, ICC announced that the tournament would return from 2025 onwards.[2]

Host selectionEdit

Pakistan was announced as the host of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy on 16 November 2021 as part of the 2024–2031 ICC men's hosts cycle.[2] It is the first global tournament to be hosted by Pakistan after almost 29 years,[3] since the 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan team.[4] The last major tournament to take place in the country was the 1996 Cricket World Cup which it co-hosted with India and Sri Lanka.[5] United Arab Emirates was announced as a neutral venue for Indian Cricket Team matches due to India's refusal to play in Pakistan.[6]

FormatEdit

The format of the competition had remained the same as it was since eight teams were introduced in the fray back in 2006. All eight teams were slotted into two groups of four, with each team playing once against every other team in the group. The top two teams from each group advanced to the knockout stage, featuring two semi-finals leading up to the final.[7][8]

India's participationEdit

Further information: India–Pakistan cricket rivalry and India–Pakistan relations

The India–Pakistan cricket rivalry has been severely impacted by the tense political relations between the two nations. In November 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) met with the ICC Executive Board to discuss compensation if India refused to play in Pakistan.[9][10] A year later, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) informed the ICC that India wouldn't travel to Pakistan for the tournament, citing security concerns.[11] Pakistan demanded a written explanation and initially rejected the proposed hybrid model.[12]

Neutral venue arrangementsEdit

On 19 December 2024, following an agreement between BCCI and PCB, the ICC in an update issued on India and Pakistan hosted matches at ICC events, established that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played across Pakistan and a neutral venue.[13][14] The ICC board confirmed that India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC events between 2024 and 2027 would be played at a neutral venue. This will also apply to the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup (hosted by India; but only if Pakistan qualifies for the tournament) and the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup (hosted by India and Sri Lanka). It was also announced that Pakistan had been awarded hosting rights of the 2028 Women's T20 World Cup, where neutral venue arrangements will also apply.[13] The fixtures were announced on 24 December 2024, along with the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, UAE as the neutral venue for the tournament.[15][16]

Prize moneyEdit

The ICC allocated a pool of US$6.9 million in prize money for the tournament, a 53 percent increase from the previous edition. The winners would receive the grand prize of $2.24 million, with each team receiving an additional $125,000 for participating.[17]

MarketingEdit

On 13 November 2024, the ICC launched a new visual identity for the Champions Trophy with the release of a brand launch video, as the event returned for the first time since 2017.[18][19] On 14 November 2024, The PCB announced the schedule for trophy tour in the region of Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The PCB's plan to take the trophy to cities in Pakistan-administered Kashmir was objected to by the BCCI.[20] On 16 November 2024, the ICC officially announced the global trophy tour for the Champions Trophy starting in Islamabad, with the cities in Pakistan-administered Kashmir excluded. The silverware journeyed across the eight participating nations. The global trophy tour concluded with India in January, as the trophy went back to Pakistan.[21]

On 30 January 2025, it was announced that a captains' event would not be held for the tournament.[22] The official theme song for the tournament titled "Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke" produced by Abdullah Siddiqui and performed by Atif Aslam was released on 7 February 2025.[23] On 12 February 2025, the ICC revealed Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shane Watson, Shikhar Dhawan and Tim Southee as the ambassadors for the tournament.[24] On 16 February 2025, a curtain raiser event was held at Lahore Fort in Pakistan, to mark the commencement of the tournament.[25] Three days later on 19 February 2025, the opening ceremony took place at the National Stadium, Karachi. The event featured an aerobatic display by the Pakistan Air Force's Sherdils Squadron with the President Asif Ali Zardari in attendance as the chief guest.[26][27]

QualificationEdit

Pakistan qualified for the competition automatically as hosts and was joined by seven other highest-ranked teams from the 2023 Cricket World Cup group stage.[28][29] This was the first time former champions Sri Lanka failed to qualify for the tournament, while Afghanistan made their debut appearance in the tournament.[30][31]

Semi-finalsEdit

 
Australia's Captain, Steve Smith (pictured in 2014) played in his last ODI against India.
 
Virat Kohli in his innings during the IND vs AUS match scored the most runs for India in semi-final 1 (84 runs off 98 balls) and was awarded the player of the match.

The first semi-final saw modern-day cricket's most-intense rivalry, India and Australia go against each other in Dubai. After winning the toss, Australia chose to bat first and were bowled out for 264 in 49.3 overs, led by Shami taking 3/48 in his 10 overs. In the second innings, after Kohli's match-defining 84,[75] India knocked-out Australia from the tournament, winning by 4 wickets with 11 balls left and as a result, became the first team to qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025 final.[76] After this match, as Australia got eliminated, the Australian Captain, Smith who also was Australia's highest run-scorer in this match (73), announced his retirement from ODI cricket.[77] Further, as India qualified to their third successive Champions Trophy final and fifth overall, it was confirmed that the final will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and not in Lahore.[78]
