The International Cricket Council is in charge of the ICC Champions Trophy, a prestigious One Day International (ODI) competition. Launched in 1998, it was initially known as the "Mini World Cup" due to its shorter and more condensed format. The tournament, which differs from the lengthy ICC World Cup due to its short timeframe and fast-paced matches, has top-ranked international teams playing. The competition is held on a regular basis and consists of elimination rounds, group stage matches, and a highly anticipated final. It stands as one of the most prestigious events in ODI cricket, second only to the World Cup.
