Suggesting A new Champions Trophy Format


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well with just 3 matches in the group stages ,one bad day can send u out of the tournament .
So keeping this in mind and also giving more relevance to Icc ranking, It wd be much better
If Top 6 teams battle it out against each other with top 4 reaching semi-final..NO groups .

Ipl style qualifier/Eliminater can also be played to reward the top 2 teams.

Total matches will be 18 
Just 3 more than current format.

Why?  You expect your team to be worse than the likes of BD, SL, NZ for the next 5 years?

Obviously. Luck will not support you forever. You need to earn it as well.

Yes and added benefit will be Pak most probably to sit out

What has the world come to. Pakistan fans with zero confidence and Bangladesh fans with mountains of confidence.

Yes since we know india might deploy multiple squads at top so in top 6 if there are 2,3,4 indian squads... I doubt Pak to be ahead of Aus, SA in any near time...

I'm flattered that you pay such close attention to my posts.  

 

And yes.  This team has a very good chance of being in the top 6 of ODI cricket:

 

KL Rahul

Rishabh Pant

Shreyas Iyer

Manish Pandey

Sanju Samson

Suresh Raina

Vijay Shankar

Axar Patel

Yuz Chahal

Pradeep Sangwan

Nathu Singh

From a stand-alone tournament perspective, this makes a lot of sense.  It would get more deserving teams in the Semi-finals, no doubt.

 

But the ICC is trying to use the Champions trophy as a tool to incentivize teams to put more stock in their rankings, and make the bilateral ODIs more meaningful.  So its unlikely to happen.
