The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 marks its highly anticipated return after an eight-year hiatus. The previous edition, held in 2017 in England, saw Pakistan defeat India by 180 runs in the final to clinch the title. This year, the tournament will run from February 19 to March 9, with matches hosted in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Dubai. Notably, India is slated to play all their games in Dubai, avoiding travel during the competition, which could work to their advantage. The event features eight teams split into two groups—Group A and Group B—competing in a total of 15 matches.
The tournament opener will see hosts Pakistan take on New Zealand in Karachi on February 19. Among the marquee clashes, the India vs Pakistan match on February 23 in Dubai is one of the most eagerly awaited encounters, alongside the England vs. Australia face-off on February 22 in Lahore. As teams finalize their preparations, announced preliminary squads remain subject to changes up to one week before the tournament’s start. Here’s a closer look at the squads revealed so far.
