ICC Champions trophy also known as the mini world cup. The event will be starting from 6th June2013 in England. The first ICC Champions trophy was held in 1998 in Bangladesh. If we look at the past champions of this mini world cup, all the teams which are participating this year has won it at least one time except the one. Surprisingly, it is Pakistan. Though, India and Srilanka shared this trophy and become champions once.
Apart of not winning this trophy they have never reach to the finals. Last time in Champions trophy they lost against New Zealand in the semi finals. Australia win this trophy two times the most by any team while West Indies has reach in to the finals 3 times the most by any team. However they have only won once. Looking to the past track record Asian teams don't look too good for this tournament.
England has organized the last biggest event which was ICC T-20 world cup and Pakistan team won that. Oh yeah they have also organized the Olympics but Cricket is not the part of it. However England cricket ground became the venue for Olympics games.
Well the task to become Champions in Champions trophy is a pretty tough one for Pakistan team. And considering the past track record they look least favorite for this title. It will be the toughest assignment for Pakistan team before WC 2015.
