Do you know where @Seniorplayer ? As I thought they were only available through the ICC that only has family tickets available.

Yes tickets  are avaliable from a website called  VIAGOGO for the 10th of June Eng v Aus.

[Calzehbhoy]

Ah yeah I'd seen Viagogo but thought they were ticket touts and you could get fakes from them?

I Wasn't aware of that..

I wouldn't say they were touts. Unfortunately, you're always going to get people who try to make a quick buck from buying at face value and hiking the price, so you could say they enable touts, but they will still have a few reasonably priced tickets.

If nobody bought the rediculously priced tickets, they wouldn't do it...

For anyone interested The Oval is hosting 3 warmup games https://www.kiaoval.com/main-news/champions-trophy-warm-tickets-available/

But besides from members you'll have to go through the ICC. Will probably go to India v New Zealand myself...

[six and out]

Squad announced -

No place for Finn or Duckett

England squad to face South Africa and for the ICC Champions Trophy: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex) (capt), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire), Sam Billings (Kent), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Liam Plunkett (Yorkshire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), David Willey (Yorkshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham).

it's the squad expected to be fair. maybe really only one or two places you could say either way we could of picked someone else

but it's a good squad. we have a chance 

[northernboy1987]

Agree with @ppccopener the squad is as expected but does look a strong squad, we've got as good a chance as anyone I reckon.

[ppccopener]

if I was to nit pick....which im not going to......I don't rate david willey

I suppose left arm he can get it back into right handers. he can also bat as in he can put it into the stands.....

he's a good player no doubt

ive got tickets for the final thru some miracle and my hopes are high 

[rickjames]

Core squad that's been at it for two years now, good stuff. If Wood can keep fit he'd be a Godsend.

Interesting squad for the Ireland ODIs, thought they would give Livingstone and Tom Curran a go but not to be. Hope Roy comes back earlier so he can play some One Day games for Surrey, poor lad can't get a game for Gujurat...

Confirmed that Billings will keep vs Ireland, right decision for me but I'm sure won't get down well with some Yorkies

yes but it's only because Butler is in the IPL with Woakes for this game I think

Jos will take the gloves for the tournament as usual we would think?

[rickjames]

Nailed on. Will be surprised if either of the other keepers even gets a game to be honest...

yes.....there's only really one spot for Billings and that's in place of Hales. I don't think that's going to happen

just my opinion and stats don't back it up but in ability alone Billings in different class to Hales.  or at least potentially......

we are so strong at the moment some very good players cant get in. Bairstow may not get in the final 11 and he's quality.

[edge]

Oh yeah Buttler is obviously first choice, don't get me wrong! Billings is the best batsman outside of the first choice side though, good to see him get a chance keeping too.
