Re: 🚀 Sportsbet.io 🏏 2025 ICC Champions Trophy🏏 19 Feb - 9 Mar 🏏
Hey guys,
Given the nature of this Free Pool, we're being very selective with who gets an invitation to join.
If this is your first time participating in a Sportsbet.io sponsored Pool, you may receive some additional questions via Private Message.
If you receive said PM from either myself or LFC_Bitcoin, it's probably in your best interest to reply to it sooner than later.
Thanks so much for your cooperation!
Just for a heads up, it's my first time getting involved in any Sportsbet sponsored pool thingy but yet to receive any DM. Given the nature of this Free Pool, we're being very selective with who gets an invitation to join.

My personal top contenders for the trophy are India, Australia and New Zealand primarily based on their recent performances primarily. The Kiwis could potentially end up surprising everyone at the end.
Indians are favorites in every ICC tournament, they perform exceptionally well in group matches and sometimes even knockouts but they don't know how to win tournaments and cross the finishing line. I hope the last T-20 WC broke the curse. IYKYK: Same old, 20-30 minutes of bad cricket.
Final squad for every team.
Final squads are out for every team and few things to note
- Big names are missing out (mainly seamers)
- The batting core is intact for almost every team except Australia because it's going into a transition phase.
* Afghanistan is Afghanistan. They will upset everyone on their day and are incredibly capable of bottling up from winning positions.
* Australia looks depleted but these folks are an ICC tourney juggernaut.
* No hopes for Bangladesh
* England has talent and many match winners in the squad but looks ridiculously out of form unit and spin is their major nemesis.
* India are gambling heavily on spin because they are playing in Dubai, batting is stacked and probably the strongest on the list but the inexperienced seam department is a big worry.
* Kiwis looks more balanced squad in the list but not a favorite.
* Pakistan is an upgraded and expensive version of Afghanistan and they have almost all the fronts covered, except spin.
* Proteas is good but c'mon it's an ICC tournament and we have seen this movie countless times.
