Favourites India come into tournament on sour note after refusal to play in Pakistan gives superpower tactical edgeAs the ICC Champions Trophy resurfaces in Pakistan this week, nearly eight years since the last one, folks will be forgiven for a few double takes, for feeling a bit like Ian Wright reuniting with his old teacher in that lovely viral clip, jaw dropped to the floor and gasping: “You’re alive! Someone said you were dead!”Although did anyone seriously think the Champions Trophy was toast?
