The highly anticipated ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is just around the corner, set to kick off on February 19. Defending champions Pakistan, co-hosting the tournament alongside the UAE, will take on New Zealand in the opening clash in Karachi. India, led by captain Rohit Sharma, will begin their campaign the following day, facing Bangladesh in Dubai.

Regarded as the second most prestigious event in one-day international cricket after the World Cup, the Champions Trophy will run until March 9, marking the first time in nearly three decades that Pakistan will host a global cricket tournament.
