Background
Summarize
Perspective
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 selection
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]
Format
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 participation
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 arrangements
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.[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 money
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]

Marketing
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]
Qualification
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-finals

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 for India. In the second innings, after Kohli's match-defining 84,[79] India knocked-out Australia from the tournament, winning by 4 wickets with 11 balls left and as a result, and became the first team to qualify for the final.[80] Following the match, Australia's captain, Smith, who also was Australia's highest run-scorer in this match (73), announced his retirement from ODI cricket.[81] Further, as India qualified to their third successive Champions Trophy final and fifth overall, it was confirmed that the final would be held in Dubai.[82]
The second semi-final began with New Zealand winning the toss and batting first. They posted a total of 362/6, breaking the record for the highest-ever innings total in Champions Trophy history.[83] Rachin (108) and Williamson (102) both scored centuries. In reply, South Africa could only score 312/9, with Miller scoring 100 not out, as New Zealand won by 50 runs, headed by captain Santner, who took 3/43. As a result, New Zealand qualified for the final, their third in Champions Trophy history after the 2000 and 2009 events.[84]
Final

In the final, held between India and New Zealand, after winning the toss, New Zealand's captain, Santner chose to bat first. New Zealand started their innings well and were at 57 for no loss till 7.4 overs, but India came back by squeezing the run-rate through tight spells and partnership-breaking wickets at regular intervals by their spin-bowlers, Chakravarthy (2/45), Kuldeep (2/40), and spin bowling all-rounders, Patel (0/29) and Jadeja (1/30).[85] New Zealand reached a total of 251/7 in their 50 overs with Mitchell (63 off 101 balls) scoring the most and a quickfire fifty by Bracewell (53* off 40 balls) towards the end of the innings. While chasing the total, India were cruising at 105 for no loss till 18.3 overs, but a brilliant catch by Phillips, to dismiss Gill (31) off Santner's delivery, opened the door for New Zealand as the fall of 2 more wickets in quick succession, saw the match in balance as India were at 122/3 in 26.1 overs with both senior players, Kohli (1) and Sharma (76) out. However, a key steady partnership of 61 runs off 75 balls, between Iyer (48) and Patel (29) brought back India's momentum, and later Pandya (18) accelerated the run-chase. Rahul (34*) and Jadeja (9*), both remained un-dismissed, as Jadeja hit the last ball of the 49th over into the fence, winning the final by 4 wickets with an over to spare.[86] Indian captain, Sharma (76 off 83 balls) was the highest run-scorer for his team and his opening assault in the first powerplay, proved crucial in India's trophy victory.[87] With this, India won their 2nd consecutive ICC tournament, both unbeaten (without losing a single game), in just a span of 8 months and 10 days, first the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 and then this was their overall 3rd Champions Trophy title, after the 2002 (joint-winners with Sri Lanka) and the 2013 edition, becoming the most successful team at the ICC Champions Trophy.[88]

Controversies
 | This section may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience. (March 2025) |
- Pakistan's name was omitted in the Champions Trophy branding during the live broadcast of the match between India and Bangladesh in Dubai. The logo in the top left corner of the broadcast carried the event name - Champions Trophy 2025 - but not the name of Pakistan, the hosts, for the entirety of the match. While the ICC informally told PCB that it was an early technical error, but the explanation had left PCB dissatisfied. The PCB wrote to ICC asking for an explanation over the omission, however, the ICC maintained that the incident occurred due to a technical glitch and had clarified that this issue would not affect any future games, regardless of whether they were played in Pakistan or the UAE.[92]
- Ahead of the game between Australia and England, the national anthem of the UK was played without incident. However, instead of following it up with the Australian national anthem, a recording of the Indian national anthem erroneously began to ring out for a moment, before it was swiftly stopped and changed, at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. This was the second time that the PCB had to ask the ICC for clarification. As this was an ICC tournament, the anthem playlist had been produced and distributed by the ICC, with the ICC in charge of playing the anthems before the matches. The PCB also questioned the presence of the Indian anthem in the playlist in the first place, given India were not playing any of their matches in Pakistan but in Dubai. The ICC believed that the error was a technical one but had been investigating the matter with the third-party supplier. According to the PCB, the global governing body offered its regrets for the anthem mix-up and put it down to a DJ error.[93]
- After India beat New Zealand to secure the title, four officials were part of the presentation ceremony, including Jay Shah, the ICC chair, two from the BCCI, one from New Zealand Cricket but none from the PCB. Other than Shah, the officials present were BCCI president Roger Binny, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia and NZC director Roger Twose. However, it was not customary for representatives of nations playing the final to feature in post-tournament ICC ceremonies, unless the final involves the host country. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had to ask the ICC for an explanation for the third time in the tournament, after the Champions Trophy tournament director Sumair Ahmed was not included in the post-final presentation ceremony in Dubai. Sumair, who was also the chief operating officer of the PCB, was in Dubai for the final in his capacity as tournament director and Pakistan's representative at the final. The PCB was puzzled by the presence of Saikia, given that one BCCI official - Binny - was on stage anyway, but it was the exclusion of the host representative that had most antagonised the board as representatives of the host nation are generally part of trophy presentations. The PCB chairman, Mohsin Naqvi was originally meant to be part of the presentations but the PCB said he was unwell and unable to travel to Dubai, hence they expected Sumair to stand in as Pakistan's representative. The PCB did not reach out to the ICC to inform it that Sumair would take Naqvi's place on the podium, as the Pakistan board believed that the onus was on the ICC to contact it about Naqvi's replacement. The PCB was aggrieved that no ICC representative reached out to the board at any stage during the final to discuss plans for a Pakistani presence on the podium post-match.[94]
