Common card · No. 308263

The 2004 ICC Champions Trophy was held in England in September 2004. Twelve teams competed in 15 matches spread over 16 days at three venues: Edgbaston, The Rose Bowl and The Oval. The nations competing included the ten Test nations, Kenya (ODI status), and – making their One Day International debut – the United States who qualified by winning the 2004 ICC Six Nations Challenge by the smallest of margins (coming down to net run rate over Canada, Namibia, and the Netherlands who had all recently played in the 2003 Cricket World Cup). In the final, West Indies defeated England by 2 wickets to win their maiden Champions Trophy title. This was their first major tournament win since the 1979 Cricket World Cup. Ramnaresh Sarwan was named the Player of the Tournament.
