The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has proposed The Oval, Edgbaston and Cardiff as the venues for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017, following the successful formula of the event staged last year.
ECB's head of global events Steve Elworthy said: "The format and the venues in 2013 proved extremely popular and the fans turned out in record numbers for the event.
"All three venues will be keen to repeat their success from the last tournament and I am sure they will have learnt from the experience which will lead to the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017 being even more memorable."
ECB chairman Giles Clarke said: "There has never been such a concerted period of high class international cricket in England and Wales.
"The ECB will host three global events with the Champions Trophy 2017, the ICC Women's World Cup in 2017 and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 within two years."
Last year, Edgbaston held the 50-over final between India, the eventual winners, and hosts England, while in 2017, it is planned that The Oval will host its second ICC Champions Trophy final -- the other being in 2004 when the West Indies beat England.
