Recently there was a lot of conflict between India and Pakistan regarding the Champions Trophy. Actually, BCCI had refused to send its team to Pakistan.

New controversy arises over Champions Trophy 2025

Actually, the Indian team has refused to get Pakistan's name written on its jersey for the Champions Trophy. Generally, the name of the country that hosts the tournament is on the jerseys of all the teams. While talking to news agency IANS, an official of Pakistan Cricket Board has accused BCCI of refusing to print Pakistan's name on Team India's jersey. The PCB official also said that we are confident that ICC will not allow this to happen and will support Pakistan. That means PCB can take this issue to ICC.

There is less than a month left for the start of the Champions Trophy. But no statement has come out from BCCI yet on this controversy. If BCCI has decided not to write Pakistan's name on Team India's jersey, then ICC may have to take action. At present Jay Shah is the President of ICC. He took over as ICC Chairman on December 1, 2024. In such a situation, only Jay Shah will take the final decision on this issue. If this step of BCCI is against the rules, then Jay Shah may have to take action.
