Champions Trophy 2025: These 5 Superstars Might Play Their Final ICC Tournament

Champions Trophy 2025: For some cricketing legends, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 could mark their final appearance in the tournament.

Champions Trophy 2025: With just a week left for ICC Champions Trophy 2025, excitement is high among fans. The tournament kicks off on February 19, with Pakistan as the official host, though the Indian cricket team will play its matches in Dubai.

Returning after nearly eight years, the 2025 edition of ICC Champions Trophy promises to be a special one. However, for some cricketing legends, it could also mark their final appearance in the tournament.

Have a look at five cricketing legends who might be playing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the final time in their career.

Virat Kohli

At 36, Virat Kohli remains one of the fittest cricketers, but he has been recently struggling with inconsistent form. Having already stepped away from T20Is, his future in ODIs and Tests remains uncertain. If he chooses to step back from international cricket in the coming years, this could be his last ICC tournament.

Mohammad Nabi

Afghanistan's seasoned all-rounder Mohammad Nabi has been key in the rise of Afghan cricket. Now 40, he is nearing the twilight of his international career. ICC Champions Trophy 2025 could be his last ICC event, with retirement potentially following soon after.

Rohit Sharma

Indian captain Rohit Sharma could be making his final ICC appearance in the ODI format. The 37-year-old has already retired from T20Is, and with the next ODI World Cup scheduled for 2027, his chances of continuing that long seem slim. The next Champions Trophy and WTC final are also years away, making this tournament a potential farewell to ICC events for Rohit.

Kane Williamson

New Zealand's Kane Williamson, who will turn 35 soon, has faced multiple injuries in recent years. While he is still in good form, the chances of him continuing until the 2027 ODI World Cup are uncertain. If he decides to move on earlier, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 could be his farewell ICC event.

Mitchell Starc

Australia's premier fast bowler Mitchell Starc has consistently delivered in ICC tournaments. At 35, he remains a force to be reckoned with, but by 2027, he may no longer be in the Australian setup. If he chooses to retire before then, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 could be his last shot at ICC glory.
