The Champions trophy was originally scheduled in Pakistan Sep 12-28 but due to security concerns raised by other teams the event had to be postponed till October next year after South Africa pulled out . like south Africa other top teams like Australia, NewZealand and England were also unwilling to participate in the championship after several players threatened to pull out citing security concerns.
