ICC tournaments are the pinnacle of cricket. We have the ODI World Cup (CWC), T20 World Cup (T20WC), Champions Trophy (CT), and the World Test Championship (WTC) Final every now and then.
While the WTC Final is a recent addition, several teams have participated in other tournaments. And all teams come with the intention of winning as many matches as possible, leading them closer to the trophy.
In this article, we’ll look at such teams with the most wins in ICC tournaments.
