The unmissable tournament, returning after an eight-year hiatus, will witness the top eight teams battle it out in 15 matches across 19 days in an intense and all-out showdown from February 19 to March 9.
The eight teams are divided into two groups for the tournament's opening stage. Each team will play three group-stage matches, with the top two from each group advancing to the semifinals.
"Every match counts in the ICC’s most high-stakes event format, where teams not only vie for the Champions Trophy but also for the coveted white jackets - symbolising the ultimate measure of greatness and determination," ICC said in a release.
The white jacket is a badge of honour adorned by champions.
