ICC declares Champions Trophy a huge success

STAFF WRITER 19:1 HRS IST

Johannesburg, Oct 7 (PTI) International Cricket Council President David Morgan today termed the just-concluded Champions Trophy "a huge success" and said the event has proved to be a great advertisement for one-dayers.

"I'm delighted with the quality of the tournament and the level of cricket that has been played throughout this competition. It has been a huge success," Morgan said in a statement.

"The cricket was enthralling and the feedback on the event from the players and followers of the game has been overwhelmingly positive. I believe the cricketing world thoroughly enjoyed this re-branded competition as I did," he said.

Morgan said the event, which had been criticised as meaningless by several former cricketers, has proved that it deserves to be there on the ICC calendar.
