Firstpost  

With India and Pakistan games struggling to fill stands, the Champions Trophy 2025 could play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the 50-over format. And yet, the Dubai International Cricket Stadium was, at best, half-full on Thursday night when Rohit Sharma’s side locked horns with Bangladesh in their opening game of the 2025 Champions Trophy. After all, even the opening match of the tournament, between host nation Pakistan and New Zealand at Karachi’s revamped National Stadium failed to put bums on all the 34,238 seats even though it was the first time since March 1996, and the 50-over World Cup final, that a global tournament was being hosted by Pakistan. Champions Trophy can play big role in ODI’s future The 50-over format has undergone so many changes that it is sometimes hard to keep track.
