The ICC Champions Trophy is making a comeback in Pakistan after nearly eight years, capturing the nostalgia of past tournaments. Despite its fluctuating status in the cricketing calendar, primarily due to the rise of T20 formats and multiple editions being perceived as a fallback, the Champions Trophy has always served a financial purpose to bridge revenue gaps. The current edition promises excitement with 15 matches over 19 days, providing a shorter, more explosive format compared to the traditional World Cup, reinforcing its value amidst the pressures of a lucrative television deal.
Despite being overshadowed by T20 formats, the Champions Trophy returns to Pakistan, showcasing its resilience and highlighting its financial importance within international cricket.
Starting on Wednesday in Karachi, the tournament features 15 matches over 19 days, contrasting the lengthy World Cup format and promising a punchy experience.
