50-over cricket is all set to get back on track as the ICC Champions Trophy coming, and all 8 qualified teams will look to perform well. It’s a short tournament, but the stakes are high, as many believe that CT 2025 is like a mini World Cup. However, it is also true that many teams haven’t played much ODI cricket before coming here. Heavyweight teams like Australia and India have not played many 50-over games recently. Surely India is set for 3 ODI games against England just before CT 2025, but overall, they have played less than 10 games in total. So, it is fair to say that many players have not had enough ODI games ahead of the Champions Trophy. Take a look at all the 8 teams and how many 50-over games they have played since ICC World Cup 2023 ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025.
