ICC Champions Trophy: Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed believes that Mohammed Rizwan-led side has a "good chance" of defending their ICC Champions Trophy title in front of home fans.

Under Sarfaraz's leadership, Pakistan defeated India by 180 runs in the Champions Trophy final in 2017 at The Oval to lift the title for the first time.

The veteran wicketkeeper-batter added that players from the title-winning side including Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman will be a key factor in their journey in the eight-team competition.
