A new controversy surrounds the ICC Champions Trophy as the BCCI reportedly refused to print the host nation’s name, ‘Pakistan,’ on Team India’s jerseys. India will play all their matches in Dubai, though Pakistan remains the official host. The PCB accused India of mixing politics with cricket and called on the ICC to intervene. Earlier, the BCCI declined to send India’s captain to Pakistan for the tournament’s opening ceremony. Despite PCB’s push, India refused to travel to Pakistan, forcing the hybrid model. This dispute has raised tensions ahead of the tournament, which starts in a month.
