2002 ICC Champions Trophy

Twelve teams participated in the tournament: the ten Test-playing nations, along with Kenya, who held full One Day International (ODI) status, and the Netherlands, who were the winners of the 2001 ICC Trophy.

The total prize money for the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy was $1 million, and in addition, the 12 teams received $165,000 each for taking part in the tournament. The winning team of the tournament collected $525,000: $100,000 for winning both of its Pool matches, $125,000 for winning semi-final and $300,000 for winning the final.{{cite web|url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/CRICKET_NEWS/2002/SEP/069729_ICC_28SEP2002.html|title=$300,000 of prize for ICC Champions Trophy winners|author=ICC Media Release|date=28 September 2002|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=15 January 2015}}

All the matches were played in Colombo at two grounds: R. Premadasa Stadium and Sinhalese Sports Club Ground.

Unlike the previous two editions of the Champions Trophy which had a direct knockout format, this edition had a format in which teams were divided into pools instead and the first-placed teams of the respective pools at the end of pool stage would qualify to the knockout stage. The 12 teams—10 Test playing nations (plus Kenya and Netherlands)—were divided into four pools of three teams each, with every team playing two matches. Australia, Bangladesh and New Zealand were placed in Pool 1 whereas England, India and Zimbabwe were allotted Pool 2. Kenya, South Africa and West Indies were put together in Pool 3, and Netherlands, Pakistan and Sri Lanka played each other in Pool 4. The semi finals were played between the winners of Pool 2 and the winners of Pool 3, and Pool 1 and Pool 4.

The International Cricket Council's (ICC) rule for One Day International (ODI) cricket at that time, "a minimum of 25 overs have to be bowled to the side batting second to constitute a match", was criticized by former Indian cricketers.{{cite web |date=1 October 2002 |title=Here comes the rain again |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/specials/icc_champions_trophy/2288525.stm |access-date=7 September 2014 |work=BBC Sport}} Former Indian wicket-keeper Farokh Engineer rejected the rule saying that it "doesn't make any sense".{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/specials/icc_champions_trophy/2289482.stm|title=Trophy rules 'should change'|work=BBC Sport|date=1 October 2002|access-date=7 September 2014}} Another former Test cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said that the ICC "should look at that rule straight away and change it", and the "obvious thing is to continue from where they left off".

Indian opener Virender Sehwag was the highest run-scorer of the tournament. He scored 271 runs from four innings at the average of over 90, including a century and a fifty. His highest score was 126 runs against England.{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=855;type=tournament|title=Records / ICC Champions Trophy, 2002/03 / Most runs|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=15 January 2015}} Followed by Sri Lankan captain Sanath Jayasuriya who scored 254 runs. Herschelle Gibbs of South Africa scored two centuries in the tournament. He also had the highest average of 120 from three innings. Zimbabwean Andy Flower's score of 145 against India was the highest individual score in a match.{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66182.html|title=ICC Champions Trophy – 3rd match, Pool 2: India vs Zimbabwe|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=15 January 2015}}

He took ten wickets in three innings, while his best bowling figures were four wickets for 15 runs against the Netherlands at the R. Premadasa Stadium. The only five-wicket haul of the tournament was taken by Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath.
