BCCI refuses to print 'Pakistan' on Team India's jerseys for ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has sparked controversy by refusing to print 'Pakistan,' the official host nation of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, on Team India's jerseys. While the tournament will be held in Pakistan and Dubai, India's matches are scheduled exclusively in Dubai due to the BCCI's earlier refusal to travel to Pakistan, citing security concerns.
A Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official criticised the BCCI, accusing it of mixing politics with sports. "BCCI is bringing politics into cricket, which is detrimental to the game. We hope the International Cricket Council (ICC) will intervene and ensure fairness," the official said, as reported by IANS.
India and Pakistan have not played bilateral cricket matches for years due to political tensions, facing each other only in ICC tournaments and the Asia Cup. The ICC adopted a hybrid model for the Champions Trophy after the BCCI declined to play in Pakistan.
Additionally, the PCB claimed that Indian captain Rohit Sharma would not attend the traditional captains' press conference in Pakistan before the tournament. While earlier reports suggested he might attend, the PCB stated that the BCCI remains firm in its stance.
