The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has concluded, with Team India clinching their third title after a thrilling win over New Zealand. However, a major talking point post-tournament is Pakistan's complete absence from the ICC’s Team of the Tournament! 🇮🇳🏆
❌ Pakistan’s Disappointing Campaign
Pakistan, who hosted the eight-team tournament, failed to make an impact:
🔹 Lost to India and New Zealand in the group stage.
🔹 Final group match vs. Bangladesh was washed out 🌧️
🔹 Eliminated in the group phase, finishing last. 😞
With no wins and an overall underwhelming performance, no Pakistani player made it to the ICC’s Team of the Tournament.
🌟 ICC’s Team of the Tournament
The ICC’s dream team features standout players from India, New Zealand, and Afghanistan:
