It was the fifth edition of the ICC Champions Trophy (previously known as the ICC Knock-out). The tournament venue was not confirmed until mid-2005 when the Indian government agreed that tournament revenues would be free from tax (the 2002 tournament had been due to be held in India, but was switched to Sri Lanka when an exemption from tax in India was not granted).India to keep Champions Trophy BBC News, 26 May 2005 Australia won the tournament, their first Champions Trophy victory. They were the only team to get one loss in the tournament, as all other teams lost at least two matches. West Indies, their final opponents, beat Australia in the group stage but were bowled out for 138 in the final and lost by eight wickets on the Duckworth–Lewis method. West Indies opening batsman Chris Gayle was named Player of the Tournament. English writer Tim de Lisle said the tournament "had been fun" because "it had been unpredictable."Why it has been fun this time, Tim de Lisle, from ESPNcricinfo. Retrieved 5 November 2006 The unpredictability was in part shown by the fact that no Asian team qualified for the semi-final, for the first time in a major ICC tournament since the 1975 World Cup. De Lisle also claimed that "the pitches" had been the "tournament's secret," saying that they were "sporting and quixotic" and "quite untypical of both one-day cricket and the subcontinent." His views were echoed by panelists in a roundtable discussion organized by ESPNcricinfo, "who hoped that the tournament would not be a one-off in a batsman-dominated game," according to news site rediff.com.Indian batsmen's bad habits exposed, by Deepti Patwardhan, from Rediff.

They stated that it was a "financial burden" for host nations and that the ICC should host only one international tournament, the World Cup.India to call for the scrapping of Champions Trophy ESPNcricinfo, 4 January 2006 However, in April, BCCI president Sharad Pawar said that he would "respect the decision" if the ICC unanimously agreed to keep the Champions Trophy on the calendar.BCCI not against Champions Trophy – Pawar ESPNcricinfo 27 April 2006 After the bombings in Mumbai in July 2006, there were concerns raised about the security of players, but no team decided to withdraw on these grounds.Concern over Champions Trophy ESPNcricinfo, 12 July 2006 Herschelle Gibbs returned to India for the first time in six years; he had refused to tour the country following the match-fixing scandal on the tour of India in 2000, over fears he might be arrested. He eventually agreed to a questioning session with the Delhi police, incriminating several more people in the scandal.Gibbs reveals more names to Indian police ESPNcricinfo, 12 October 2006 Pakistan's team composition frequently changed; the original captain Inzamam-ul-Haq was suspended following his decision to forfeit the fourth Test of Pakistan's match against England over an umpiring decision.

Award ceremony controversy During the Award ceremony after the finals, Ricky Ponting tapped the shoulders of BCCI President Sharad Pawar and informally gestured him to hand over the trophy. Soon after the trophy was handed over, Damien Martyn nudged Sharad Pawar off the stage, eager to relish the moment and to pose for the waiting photographers. Former Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar who was also present on the stage, later disclosed that one of the Australian team members referred to Pawar as "Hiya Buddy."http://www.cricketnext.com/news/pawar-was-addressed-as-hiya-buddy-gavaskar/21579-13.html 'Hiya buddy,' said Aussies to Pawar 8 November 2006 28 September 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20070928074222/http://www.cricketnext.com/news/pawar-was-addressed-as-hiya-buddy-gavaskar/21579-13.html dead Although Pawar tried to play down the incident by stating that "it wasn't intentional," some cricketers, including the usually diplomatic Sachin Tendulkar and Nikhil Chopra reacted strongly to this. In Mumbai, a section of NCP workers took to the streets demanding an apology from the Australian cricket team. Chaggan Bhujbal, a NCP leader, said, "This is an insult to a senior leader. We will make a formal complaint to the Australian embassy." The BCCI, however, decided not to complain to Cricket Australia officially.http://www.cricketnext.com/news/bcci-wont-officially-complain-to-ca/21587-13.html BCCI won't officially complain to Cricket Australia 8 November 2006 28 September 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20070928074212/http://www.cricketnext.com/news/bcci-wont-officially-complain-to-ca/21587-13.html dead However, the issue soon got resolved when Ricky Ponting tended his apology to Pawar.
