A lil' history!!!!!


First known as the ICC Knockout, it has often been referred to as the mini-world cup. Since its inception in 1998, this tournament has generated much excitement because of its intense play among the world's best sides in a relatively short period. The ICC Knockout name continued in 1998, but was changed for the first time in 2002 to its current name, ICC Champions Trophy.


This year's tournament will feature a new competition format. The eight teams in the tournament are made up of the top 6 sides in the LG ICC ODI Championship Table as of April 1, 2006 plus two qualifiers from a preliminary round. The top six teams are: Australia (1), South Africa (2), India (3), Pakistan (4), New Zealand (5) and England (6). Sri Lanka (7), West Indies (8), Zimbabwe (9) and Bangladesh (10) will battle each other for the right to advance to the next round.


Start of play for the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy is October 7.

ICC CHAMPIONS' TROPHY FACTS http://iccchampionstrophy.indya.com/images/icctrophy.gif
The coveted Champions Trophy has its origins in London, England – having been designed and manufactured by Crown Jewellers, Asprey, who also have the distinction of manufacturing other ICC trophies for events such as the ICC Cricket World Cup, the ICC Test Championship Mace and the ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup.
The ICC Champions Trophy stands 18 inches tall (45.72 centimeters) and is 5.5 inches (13.97 centimeters) at its widest point. It weighs a modest 8 kilograms or just under 18 pounds.
The stunning trophy is crafted with solid silver and consists of a silver gilt cricket ball engraved with a map of the world. The ball is mounted on a trefoil of sterling silver panels that taper down to a lacquered wooden plinth with the front panel engraved with the tournament title and logo.
Though its commercial value is approximately US $20,000, to the cricketing world its priceless!
The trophy made its first appearance in 2002 when the tournament’s name was changed from the ICC Knock-out to the ICC Champions Trophy.
Joint winners, India and Sri Lanka became the first teams to win the ICC Champions Trophy in 2002.
