CT kicks off as India look to end 12-year wait for ODI trophy

- DAMAN SINGH

Drought to end in desert?

When the ICC announced during the ODI World Cup in October 2023 that the top eight teams would qualify for the Champions Trophy, it signalled chaos, desperation, and a race against time.

The months leading up to the tournament were no different. A cocktail of scepticism, backlash and intrigue took over. Nevertheless, all the feelings have coalesced into excitement and here we are.

In Pakistan's first major ICC event in over a decade, storylines have curdled into subplots of personal battles-from cricketing boards' bickering to certain individuals' last dance to the format's relevance in burgeoning T20 times.

Clubbed in Group A alongside India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand, defending champions Pakistan will kick off the tournament in Karachi against the Kiwis on Wednesday. Group B consists of Australia, Afghanistan, England and South Africa.
