Before this tournament, there was a fresh dispute over the BCCI’s decision to not print Pakistan’s name on the Indian team’s jersey. Every team’s uniform is supposed to bear the name of Pakistan, the tournament’s primary organizer, but the BCCI has refused to do so. In the midst of this debate, the ICC has now released a statement.
According to the rules, will Team India’s Champions Trophy 2025 jersey bear Pakistan’s name
Although Pakistan is officially hosting the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, a hybrid format was chosen for the tournament for security reasons. All the Indian team’s games will take place in Dubai.
There have been previous media stories claiming that the BCCI has refused to inscribe Pakistan’s name on the Indian cricket team’s jersey. The ICC official finally explained the rule in this episode while speaking with sports.
According to the ICC official, it is the duty of each team to wear the tournament’s logos on their jersey. This guideline must be adhered to by all teams. The ICC further stated that severe measures will be taken against Team India if they violated the Champions Trophy’s logo.
No matter where the game is played, teams are required by ICC regulations to write the host team’s name on their jersey. The Pakistan Cricket Board has allegedly denied receiving any such information from the Indian Board, despite an IANS report stating that the BCCI is not interested in having Pakistan written on the team’s jersey.
