The Champions Trophy was officially killed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) yesterday following a unanimous agreement by all parties concerned at the five-day long board meeting which concluded in Kolkata. This is not the first time that the ICC have targeted the Champions Trophy. In 2012, it was announced that the 2013 edition will be the Champions Trophy's last show. However, that didn't happen, but this time it's a certainty as the 2021 Champions Trophy which was scheduled to be held in India has now been converted into a World T20 event. As a result, for the second time after 2009, the ICC will hold two World T20s in two years — 2020 in Australia and 2021 in India.
