The ICC Trophy is a cricket tournament organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It serves as a platform for teams that do not automatically qualify for the ICC Cricket World Cup. The tournament features various teams competing for a chance to secure a spot in the World Cup, showcasing emerging cricketing nations. First held in 1982, the ICC Trophy has evolved over the years, with several editions taking place. The tournament has been instrumental in promoting cricket globally and providing opportunities for lesser-known teams to compete on an international stage, enhancing the sport's reach and popularity.
