Editorial | End of intrigue: On the ICC Champions Trophy 2025
The one-day international (ODI) competition was initially scrapped by cricket’s global governing body, the ICC, who wanted only one major tournament in each of the sport’s three international formats, and prioritised the 50-over ODI World Cup. The ICC revived the tournament in November 2021, scheduling the next edition for 2025.
The matches will be broadcast LIVE on Star Sports and Network 18 channels and will be available on https://www.hotstar.com/ in India. JioHotstar will also have the live streaming of all the matches.
For the first time on the digital platform, an ICC tournament will be streamed live across 16 feeds, including nine different languages: English, Hindi, Marathi, Haryanvi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
