PCB has raised concerns with the International Cricket Council (ICC) after Pakistan’s name was missing from the Champions Trophy 2025 branding during the India vs. Bangladesh match.
Pakistan is the official host of the tournament, yet the branding only displayed “Champions Trophy 2025” without mentioning the host country. The ICC later explained that this was a technical error, but the PCB is not fully convinced. They have questioned why previous matches had the correct branding while this one did not.
This issue has become a topic of discussion, especially with the highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan match coming up soon. Many fans and cricket experts believe that such an omission should not happen in an ICC event, especially when the host country has already been confirmed.
The Champions Trophy 2025 has already been surrounded by controversy, mainly due to India’s decision to play their matches at neutral venues instead of in Pakistan. This latest issue has added to the debate, with PCB officials demanding clarity from the ICC.
With the tournament still months away, the PCB is hoping for a clear response and a guarantee that such mistakes will not happen again. Cricket fans are now waiting to see how the ICC handles the situation, especially as the rivalry between Pakistan and India continues to be one of the biggest talking points in international cricket.
