India, New Zealand, Bangladesh and Pakistan are in the same group for the ICC Champions Trophy, scheduled to take place from February 19 to March 9, across Pakistan and Dubai. India will begin their campaign in Dubai on February 20 against Bangladesh, followed by a high-stakes clash with Pakistan on February 23, before facing New Zealand on March 2. Former New Zealand pacer Tim Southee, who recently announced his retirement from international cricket, called India as strong contenders and wouldn’t mind seeing them face the BlackCaps in the final.
