Cricket Tragic Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 The 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, to be held in England, will be the last time the tournament is played as the ICC moves towards having one championship for each of the game's three formats from 2015. The tournament is part of the Future Tours Program in 2013 but does not appear after that, with the play-offs for the World Test Championship scheduled for June 2017. Good decision imo.
deathmonger Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 should win it and be champions forever. hopefully beat the pakis once again.
Cricket Tragic Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 They started it in 1998 (ICC Knockout) to basically raise money and it was a good tournament for a while but the schedule is too packed now.
panther Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 should win it and be champions forever. hopefully beat the pakis once again. i will bet now(i wont) that if pak meets india in the cup and shoaib malik is captain than pak will beat india.
bulbul Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 i will bet now(i wont) that if pak meets india in the cup and shoaib malik is captain than pak will beat india.
Spiderguy252 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Good call. This tournament is a complete farce. No prestige whatsoever, just like the IPL.
deathmonger Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 i will bet now(i wont) that if pak meets india in the cup and shoaib malik is captain than pak will beat india. how? shoaib malik may have a good avg against india but most matches he lost. plus pakistan have no good fast bowlers to trouble us.
panther Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 how? shoaib malik may have a good avg against india but most matches he lost. plus pakistan have no good fast bowlers to trouble us. because misbah will choke and malik is the only other captaincy option.
deathmonger Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 because misbah will choke and malik is the only other captaincy option. but misbah will still be captain. only way misbah will be sacked is if they do very badly in tours leading up to ct. also afridi is there for captaincy.
panther Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 but misbah will still be captain. only way misbah will be sacked is if they do very badly in tours leading up to ct. also afridi is there for captaincy. nah misbah should retire and focus on test
deathmonger Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 nah misbah should retire and focus on test i don't think he will unless he is kicked out.
shinchan Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 it's hard to remember when it happened last time.good decision imo
Zero_Unit Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 All ends well. Why need a Champions trophy when you have the WC (and not to mention even in the WC they want to kick out the minnows :S)
