The 2002 ICC Champions Trophy was a cricket tournament held in Sri Lanka in 2002. It marked the third edition of the ICC Champions Trophy, with the previous two tournaments being known as the ICC Knock Out Tournaments. Originally scheduled to be held in India, the tournament was moved to Sri Lanka when India did not grant an exemption from tax, as needed.Vasu Anand A taxing problem https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/a-taxing-problem-135046 ESPNcricinfo 28 June 2024 9 August 2004 The tournament consisted of fifteen matches, including two semi-finals and a final match.http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/118982.html Sri Lanka to Host ICC Champions Trophy in September 2002 ESPNcricinfo BCCSL BCCSL 19 March 2002 15 January 2015 This event was notable as it marked the first time that teams from all full member nations of the International Cricket Council (ICC) visited Sri Lanka to participate in a cricket tournament.
Twelve teams participated in the tournament: the ten Test-playing nations, along with Kenya, who held full One Day International (ODI) status, and the Netherlands, who were the winners of the 2001 ICC Trophy. The teams were divided into four pools, each consisting of three teams. In the pool stage, each team played the other two teams in its pool once. The top team from each pool advanced to the semi-finals.http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/119274.html ICC Champions Trophy Match Schedule ESPNcricinfo BCCSL 29 March 2002 15 January 2015http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/117636.html ICC Champions Trophy: Blazing sunshine, blistering cricket ESPNcricinfo Charlie Austin 1 June 2002 15 January 2015

Tournament structure
Unlike the previous two editions of the Champions Trophy, which had a direct knockout format, this edition had a format in which teams were divided into pools instead and the first-placed teams of the respective pools at the end of pool stage would qualify to the knockout stage. The 12 teams—10 Test playing nations (plus Kenya and Netherlands)—were divided into four pools of three teams each, with every team playing two matches. Australia, Bangladesh and New Zealand were placed in Pool 1 whereas England, India and Zimbabwe were allotted Pool 2. Kenya, South Africa and West Indies were put together in Pool 3, and Netherlands, Pakistan and Sri Lanka played each other in Pool 4. The semi finals were played between the winners of Pool 2 and the winners of Pool 3, and Pool 1 and Pool 4.

Criticism
The International Cricket Council's (ICC) rule for One Day International (ODI) cricket at that time, "a minimum of 25 overs have to be bowled to the side batting second to constitute a match", was criticized by former Indian cricketers.1 October 2002 Here comes the rain again https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/specials/icc_champions_trophy/2288525.stm 7 September 2014 BBC Sport Former Indian wicket-keeper Farokh Engineer rejected the rule saying that it "doesn't make any sense".https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/specials/icc_champions_trophy/2289482.stm Trophy rules 'should change' BBC Sport 1 October 2002 7 September 2014 Another former Test cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said that the ICC "should look at that rule straight away and change it", and the "obvious thing is to continue from where they left off".
