Background

The ICC Champions Trophy is a quadrennial ODI cricket tournament organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Initially held as a biennial tournament since its inaugural edition in 1998 as ICC KnockOut Trophy, it was rebranded as ICC Champions Trophy in 2002 and has been held as a quadrennial tournament since 2009. In 2016, the ICC cancelled future editions of the Champions Trophy after the 2017 tournament, aiming to have only one major tournament in each format of international cricket. In November 2021, however, ICC announced that the tournament would return from 2025 onwards.

In November 2024, The ICC launched a brand-new visual identity for the Champions Trophy with the release of brand launch video to represent the event for the next few years.
