The ICC Board’s teleconference on the location for this year’s ICC Champions Trophy has concluded.
The decision of the Board is that the event remains in Pakistan.
Further details will follow as soon as possible.
The ICC Champions Trophy, the game’s second “major” after the ICC Cricket World Cup, is a short, sharp event involving the top eight teams in the Reliance Mobile ICC ODI Championship table as of 11 March 2008.
Those teams will be divided into two groups with three round-robin matches for each, before the top two line-ups from each of those groups go forward to semi-finals and a final.
The defending champion is Australia, which beat the West Indies in the 2006 final, in Mumbai, India.
