The seven best teams in the 2023 World Cup were qualified for the tournament, along with the hosts Pakistan.
The Champions Trophy is revived after eight years with the headlines of Pakistan who houses New Zealand in the opening match of the ninth edition on Wednesday.
The 2021 edition of the International Competition of one day (ODI) was initially discarded by Global Body ICC in 2016, which only wanted an important tournament in each of the three international sports formats, prioritizing the World Cup of 50 over 50.
They reversed the decision at the end of 2021. With Indian political rivals and Pakistan deciding not to visit each other for CPI tournaments, India will play their games in a neutral place in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The seven best teams in the 2023 World Cup were qualified for the tournament, along with the hosts Pakistan. The teams are divided into two groups, with the first two of each group advancing to the semifinals.
