Regarding the Indian men’s team’s jersey for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has definitively resolved an ongoing debate. The official emblem of the tournament, which contains the name of the host country, Pakistan, will be shown on the Indian shirt in accordance with the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) rules.
The ICC has repeatedly underlined how crucial it is that all participants follow its tournament rules. All competing teams must wear shirts with the official event emblem, which includes the name of the host country, in accordance with ICC regulations.
Due to security concerns, India’s matches will now be held in Dubai; nonetheless, Pakistan will still serve as the official host for the renowned event, which is set to take place from February 19 to March 9, 2025.
India will adhere to ICC regulations, according to BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia.
“We’ll abide by any ICC regulations. Saikia stated, as cited by, “We will adhere to the ICC directive.”
The last time an Indian cricket team travelled to Pakistan was in 2008.
India’s refusal to wear the name of the host country on their team jersey is a developing problem that the ICC had previously addressed. The international organisation stated that every team should adhere to the established rules.
Each team is accountable for putting the tournament logo on their uniforms. An ICC official stated that all teams must abide by this regulation, according to A-Sports.
Even with this significant development, there are still questions about whether Indian skipper Rohit Sharma would be present for the opening ceremony of the tournament in Karachi. The relationship between India and Pakistan in cricket has been impacted by political factors. Bilateral relations have remained tense since the Indian team’s most recent cricketing tournament visit to Pakistan in 2008.
This applies to Rohit and all other Indian team members, officials, and board members. According to an earlier source, this is in accordance with standard procedure, and because the opening match is scheduled for the 19th, the opening ceremony is anticipated to take place on the 16th or 17th.
