All you want to know about the Champions Trophy

The ICC Champions Trophy sits alongside the World Cup as one of the two "majors" of international cricket. The two tournaments are the only occasions on the cricket calendar when all 10 Test-playing nations come together to compete in the one event.

This year, the world's best teams will be joined by the emerging one-day cricket nations, Kenya - the surprise team from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003 - and the United States of America, which earned a place in the tournament after winning the ICC Six Nations Challenge in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in March.

To be staged in England for the first time, the ICC Champions Trophy provides teams the opportunity to benchmark their progress against each other with a format that has no leeway for mistakes.

In contrast to the ICC Cricket World Cup, which provides an extended format of matches and allows teams the chance to recover from a defeat or slump in form, the ICC Champions Trophy demands consistency and the ability to generate winning performances from start to finish.

With 15 games in 16 days, one defeat is likely to prevent a team from progressing to the finals.

Originally introduced as the ICC Knock Out tournament in 1998 and staged every two years since that time, the event has evolved into a round-robin competition with teams split into pool groups based on their official ICC one-day international rankings.

In 2002, the tournament was renamed the ICC Champions Trophy to reflect the new competition format.
