New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra suffered a forehead laceration after losing sight of the ball under floodlights in the first ODI against Pakistan. The incident, which left him bleeding, raised concerns over Pakistan's hosting of the 2025 Champions Trophy. Social media users blamed the PCB, urging the ICC to shift the tournament to Dubai. Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif highlighted LED lights as a potential issue. New Zealand Cricket confirmed Ravindra is "well" but will be monitored under HIA protocols. The PCB now faces scrutiny as discussions on venue safety intensify ahead of the ICC event.
