List of teams with most ICC trophies in men's white-ball cricket

India have the second most ICC trophies in men’s white-ball cricket.

Winning an ICC Trophy is all that matters in international cricket. ICC Tournaments are considered the gold standard in cricket, where teams get to showcase their talent year-on-year.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the supreme governing body of cricket that organises various tournaments, including the ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy, and ICC World Test Championship.

Since the first ICC tournament (1975), there have been different eras dominated by different teams. Be it West Indies, Australia, or India, only a few teams have had the distinction of winning an ICC tournament, and even fewer have won more than two ICC trophies.

Among the 104 members of the ICC, which include 12 full members and 92 associate members, here’s a list of teams with the most ICC trophies in men’s white-ball cricket.

6. England – 3 Trophies

With a total of 3 ICC trophies in the limited-overs format, England find a place in the list of most ICC white-ball trophies won, coming in at No. 6. Known as the ‘Home of Cricket’, England found it difficult to win a single ICC trophy for a long period. 

Their first major achievement came when they won the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, beating New Zealand in a closely fought final that went into a Super Over. England’s performance in T20 cricket is also noteworthy, as they won this tournament twice, first in 2010 and then in 2022.

Although they have yet to win the ICC Champions Trophy, their consistent performances make them a strong team.

5. Sri Lanka – 3 Trophies

Sri Lanka have managed to accumulate an impressive tally of 3 ICC trophies in white-ball cricket, making them one of the best teams in cricket history. With this, the Lankan Lions are fifth in the list of most ICC titles in white-ball tournaments.

The team’s first major achievement was winning the ICC Cricket World Cup in 1996 under the captaincy of Arjuna Ranatunga. They won the World Cup by defeating Australia in the final on home soil.

After that, Sri Lanka dominated cricket for a long time. In 2002, they were declared joint winners with India in the Champions Trophy final due to rain interruptions. Sri Lanka’s third major achievement was winning the ICC T20 World Cup in 2014 under Lasith Malinga’s captaincy, beating India in the final.

Apart from these trophies, Sri Lanka reached the finals of the 2007 & 2011 ICC Cricket World Cups and the 2012 ICC T20 World Cup but were unable to cross the finish line on all three occasions.

4. Pakistan – 3 Trophies

Pakistan went on to lift their first ICC T20 World Cup trophy in 2009, having fallen short the first time against India in 2007. Pakistan then went on to win the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017, defeating arch-rivals India in the final.

3. West Indies – 5 Trophies

They have also achieved great success in T20I cricket, winning the ICC T20 World Cup twice, in 2012 and 2016, under Darren Sammy’s captaincy.

Their victory in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2004 added another feather to their cap as one of the most formidable teams in cricket’s history in their prime days.

2. India – 8 Trophies

India had to wait 28 years for their next achievement in the 50-over format, when they won the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011 and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Meanwhile, they became the first team to win the ICC T20 World Cup title in 2007 and were declared co-champions in the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy.
