The ninth edition of the ICC Champions Trophy will take place in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates from February 19 to March 9, 2025. The quadrennial tournament will see 15 matches being played across four venues— Karachi, Lahore, Dubai, and Rawalpindi—over the next three weeks with eight top nations battling for the title to be called the ‘Champion of Champions.’ The ICC Champions Trophy is returning after a long gap of eight years. The tournament's last edition was held in England and Wales during the summer of 2017. The hard-fought tournament was eventually won by the Sarfaraz Ahmed-led Pakistani team, which defeated arch-rivals India in a one-sided final at The Oval.
