The ICC Champions Trophy returns on Tuesday after a three-year hiatus with the eight best teams on the planet and a new venue.
The tournament was delayed a year after the International Cricket Council moved it from Pakistan to South Africa because of security concerns.
Following hot on the heels of a successful World Twenty20 campaign in England, organisers hope the 50-over format can equally capture the imagination across the globe.
Fresh from a 6-1 drubbing of England in the NatWest Series, holders Australia look in excellent touch to retain their title won in Mumbai back in 2006.
BBC Sport runs the rule over the eight teams.
GROUP A
Australia |  | India | | Pakistan | | West Indies |
GROUP B
England | | New Zealand | | South Africa | | Sri Lanka |
