:2009 ICC Champions Trophy

The Champions Trophy was the brainchild of Jagmohan Dalmiya, who was ICC president in the late 1990s. It had a dual aim of spreading the game to emerging nations and raising money for the ICC between World Cups, thus enabling it to pump more cash into those fledgling cricket countries. The first tournament, labelled as a mini World Cup, was staged in Dhaka in October 1998 and raised more than £10 million. The second, in Nairobi, was a commercial success, although the crowds stayed away. By the time the 2002 event was held – and there was disquiet as it was so close to the World Cup five months later – the idea of playing in developing nations had been ditched. As revenue generation was the main raison d'etre, it needed to be in one of the main countries, which allowed the format to be expanded. In 2004 the jamboree moved to England, and it became clear the format of group games led to too many meaningless games. By the time the 2006 tournament in India came into view, the event was under fire from some quarters, and at one time, there were hints that India might decline to take part in 2008.

The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Pakistan between 11 and 28 September 2008 in Lahore and Karachi.{{Cite web |url=http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/sport/23-Mar-2008/icc-champions-trophy-2008-schedule-announced-pakistan-take-on-west-indies-in-opener |title=ICC Champions Trophy 2008 schedule |access-date=26 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160405033247/http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/sport/23-Mar-2008/icc-champions-trophy-2008-schedule-announced-pakistan-take-on-west-indies-in-opener |archive-date=5 April 2016 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }} The ICC postponed the tournament due to security fears expressed by several participating countries; On 24 July 2008, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the tournament would take place in Pakistan after all despite players from Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand raising concerns over touring the country.[http://www.cricketworld.com/internationalcricketnews/article/?aid=16534 ICC Decides Pakistan Will Host Champions Trophy] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081022233926/http://www.cricketworld.com/internationalcricketnews/article/?aid=16534 |date=22 October 2008 }}, Cricket World, retrieved 24 July 2008 On 22 August 2008, South Africa announced that it would not take part in the Champions Trophy due to security concerns.[https://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080822/wl_africa_afp/cricketchampionstrophypakrsa South Africa boycott cricket's Champions Trophy in Pakistan], Yahoo News, retrieved 22 August 2008 Two days later, on 24 August 2008, after speculation that the tournament would be held elsewhere (England, Sri Lanka, or South Africa), the ICC announced that the tournament would be postponed until October 2009.[http://www.cricketworld.com/champions_trophy_2008/article/?aid=17000 ICC Agrees To Postpone Champions Trophy] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080930113232/http://www.cricketworld.com/champions_trophy_2008/article/?aid=17000 |date=30 September 2008 }}, Cricket World, retrieved 24 August 2008

Wanderers Stadium and Centurion Park, both in the Johannesburg area, were announced as venues for the tournament.

The 2009 ICC Champions Trophy was contested by the top eight teams (previously 10) that had been seeded and divided into two groups. No associates nations participated in this tournament. Each team played every other team in its group once. Points were allocated for each match in accordance with the system described below which applied throughout the competition. Following the group stage, the top two teams from each group progressed to the semi-finals, where the winner of Group A played the runner up of Group B (in the 1st semi-final) and the winner of Group B played the runner up of Group A (in the 2nd semi-final). The winners of the semi-finals contested the final.
