ICC Men’s Champions Trophy Returns with New Promo Featuring Wasim Akram
The ICC Men’s Champions Trophy is set to make its long-awaited return next month, after an eight-year break since the 2017 edition.
In a new promotional video, Pakistan cricket icon Wasim Akram features prominently, paying homage to the iconic “white jackets” and inviting fans to witness the thrilling journey as eight teams compete “All On The Line” for the prestigious title.
The tournament, scheduled to take place from February 19 to March 9, will span 19 days and feature 15 intense matches. The eight participating teams will be divided into two groups for the opening round, with each team playing three group-stage games. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semifinals.
The ICC highlights the high stakes of the event, where every match is critical. Teams are not just fighting for the Champions Trophy, but also for the legendary white jacket— a symbol of cricketing greatness and unwavering determination.
The white jacket represents a champion’s relentless pursuit of excellence and is worn by those who achieve the pinnacle of success in the sport.
In the promo, Wasim Akram, whose career spanned over three decades, underscores the significance of the jacket, calling it a symbol of the path to victory. “The ICC Men’s Champions Trophy represents the best of the best,” Akram states.
“Winning the jacket means putting everything on the line for glory. The team that triumphs will emerge from fierce, high-pressure battles, with no room for complacency,” he adds.
As the Champions Trophy returns, anticipation builds across the global cricket community, with teams preparing for one of the sport’s most intense and prestigious events.
