Bangladesh has replaced the West Indies in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 as the latter finished outside the top eight in the ICC ODI Team Rankings on the 30 September 2015 cut-off date. West Indies finished at the ninth spot with 88 points. Bangladesh will thus return to the ICC Champions Trophy for the first time since 2006 after the eight sides were confirmed for the 2017 tournament, which will be hosted by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) from 1 to 18 June. The eight sides to play in the short and sharp, nation-versus-nation ICC Champions Trophy 2017 are (in rankings order): world champion Australia, title holder India, 1998 winner South Africa, 2000 champion New Zealand, 2002 co-winner Sri Lanka, host England, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
