The Champions Trophy 2025 was hit by a fresh controversy after Pakistan’s name was missing the tournament logo during the live broadcast of the India-Bangladesh Group A match in Dubai.
During the tournament opener, the logo that was seen during the live coverage featured the name of the host (Pakistan). However, during the second game, Pakistan’s name was not there and it caused quite a bit of stir on social media. The International Cricket Council (ICC) quickly reacted to the incident and according to Geo TV, an ICC spokesperson said that it was a technical glitch. The spokesperson also added that the broadcast of all India matches will feature the tournament logo along with Pakistan’s name.
“The omission was due to a graphics-related technical issue, which will be rectified from tomorrow. It was not possible to change the logo during the match,” the spokesperson said.
According to ESPNCricinfo, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has asked for an official explanation from the ICC regarding the incident despite an informal communication from the global governing body.
Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh said that Pakistan is at an advantage during their high-profile ICC Champions Trophy 2025 clash against India, saying that they have played a lot of cricket in Dubai and understand the conditions really well.
