Dubai, February 7, 2025 – The International Cricket Council (ICC) today announced the release of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 official song, Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke, by renowned singer Atif Aslam.

India's campaign in 2004 ended in disappointment as they couldn't make it past the group stage. They met Kenya in their opener and posted 290/4 while batting first in Southampton. The Men in Blue were powered by their captain Sourav Ganguly (90) and VVS Laxman (79). Mohammad Kaif made a fiery 49*.

“We are delighted to launch the official event song for the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025. With less than two weeks to go, this song is a true representation of Pakistan’s cricketing identity and serves as a celebration of the Champions Trophy. We encourage fans to secure their tickets now and be part of this thrilling competition," he said.

India's Nitin Menon was the most notable absentee in the list of match officials for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the world cricketing body announced on Wednesday. The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Pakistan and Dubai from February.
