The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 begins on February 19.
The excitement for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is beginning to take place as the latest promotional video for the tournament was released on social media. The video featured Shaheen Afridi, Shadab Khan, Hardik Pandya, Mohammad Nabi, and Phil Salt in a hilarious attempt to steal the trophy.
Modeled after a museum robbery, all of the players were seen attempting to obtain the prize. The promotional video begins with Shaheen Afridi being lowered down using a rope held by Shadab Khan to breach a vault loaded with lasers and motion sensors.
As the Pakistani bowler approaches the trophy, Hardik Pandya is seen ducking lasers to beat him to the prize. Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi enters via the underground route, while England's Phil Salt arrives out of nowhere to heighten the drama.
Hosted by Pakistan, with four matches taking place in the UAE, from February 19 to March 9, 2025, the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy will feature the world’s top-eight cricketing nations battling it out across 15 matches.
India and Pakistan are placed in Group A alongside New Zealand and Bangladesh. Group B features Australia, England, South Africa and Afghanistan.
India and Pakistan will clash in Dubai on February 23.
