No More 50-overs ICC Champions Trophy Disney Star Pushes for 20-over ICT 2025: With a new viewing record for the ICC Cricket World Cup, the 50-over format gets a boost in popularity. However, viewing aside, ODIs and 50-over formats are becoming less common.
Even in a country as cricket mad as India, a lot of non-Indian matches have failed to attract large audiences. Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the ICC, is concerned about that.
The broadcaster is pressuring the International Cricket Council (ICC) to switch from 50-overs to T20 for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 (ICT 2025) format.
The eight-team ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will resurrect after an 8-year gap. While the world body continues to push for an ICC event every year, as per The Guardian report, Star Sports has already made plans for a 20-over ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Disney Star is paying $3 billion for 2023-27.

Following an eight-year break, the eight-team ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will return.
Even though the global organization is still pushing for an annual ICC tournament, Star Sports has already scheduled a 20-over ICC Champions Trophy for 2025, according to a story in The Guardian. Disney Star is paying $3 billion for 2023-27.
However, a Disney Star official has informed The Guardian that the broadcaster has not put forth a “formal request” to the ICC.
Eight teams participating in an ICT will just be too much T20 cricket when World Cups are still being held every two years. Twenty24, 2026, and 2028 will see a T20 World Cup.
However, it’s also true that the 50-over format is losing its appeal. Cricket World Cup 2023 venues that are just partially full have provided sufficient proof.
The next ODI World Cup is in 2027 and just to keep the format going, ICC may be interested in dragging the format further. ICC will meeting in Ahmedabad next week and it could be part of the discussion.
Nonetheless, the format—which isn’t particularly well-liked by players—is probably going to disappear if the ICC grants Disney Star’s request.

Yuvraj Singh Insult MS Dhoni as He Names His All-Time XI: Yuvraj Singh, the skipper of the India Champions, picked his all-time team after the team became winners in the World Championship of Legends on Saturday, defeating Pakistan by five wickets in a thrilling final.
When selecting his starting XI, Yuvraj—who is still among the most decorated cricket players in history—made some logical choices. Among Indian hitters, players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar made the cut.
The opening batsmen for him were Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli coming in at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. Yuvraj selected AB de Villiers at number five, and Adam Gilchrist, the specialist wicket-keeper, at number six.

Australian spin bowling star Shane Warne was ranked No. 7 by Yuvraj, and Muttiah Muralitharan was ranked No. 8. Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath were the bowlers at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively, while Andrew Flintoff, a former England all-rounder, was a candidate at No. 11.
In the championship game, the Yuvraj-led squad proved why they were the best by winning a close battle between two very competitive teams. After winning the toss, the Pakistani Champions chose to bat first and amassed a respectable score of 156/6 in 20 overs.

The innings was anchored by Shoaib Malik’s 41 off 36 balls, which was a notable performance. Irfan Pathan clean bowled Captain Younis Khan for seven runs, ensuring he would not leave an impression. The middle-order collapsed and Misbah-ul-Haq was retired hurt after a brisk 18, late contributions from Sohail Tanvir (19* off 9) ensured Pakistan posted a respectable score.
Indian bowlers, led by Anureet Singh who claimed three wickets with support from Vinay Kumar, Pawan Negi and Irfan Pathan (one wicket each) were instrumental in containing Pakistan’s batting lineup.

India Champions responded by deliberately beginning their run chase. Even though Ambati Rayudu lost Robin Uthappa (10) early in the innings, his brilliant fifty off thirty balls laid the groundwork for the Men in Blue’s chase.
In the same over, Suresh Raina also left cheaply for four, aiding Pakistan’s recovery. However, Rayudu and Gurkeerat Singh Maan’s (34 off 33) solid combination kept India in the game.
Rayudu and Mann also departed in a space of 10 runs but the momentum stayed firmly in India’s favour with Yusuf Pathan’s blistering 30 off 16 balls before the latter was dismissed in the penultimate over.
Yuvraj Singh’s All-Time XI:
Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Adam Gilchrist (wk), Andre Flintoff, Shane Warne, Mutttiah Muralitharan, Glenn McGrath, Wasim Akram. Yuvraj Singh (12th man)
