Why was the PCB angry before the India-Pakistan match? Asked for answer from ICC regarding this matter

In the Champions Trophy 2025, a great match is going to be played between India and Pakistan in Dubai. Before this high-voltage match to be held on 23 February, the Pakistan Cricket Board is angry with the ICC. The PCB has also expressed its displeasure by writing a letter. But what is the reason behind this? Actually, during the live broadcasting of the India-Bangladesh match, a big mistake was made by the ICC. The logo of the Champions Trophy was shown on the screen, but the name of the host country Pakistan was not on it. After this, the PCB sought clarification for this mistake.

ICC responded, but PCB is not happy

According to ESPNcricinfo's report, the ICC has unofficially given its reply to the PCB on this matter. It has told the Pakistani board that due to a technical error, Pakistan's name along with the Champions Trophy logo was not shown during the live broadcast of the match.

However, PCB is not satisfied with this answer. It says that the graphics for the live feed are prepared in advance and given to ICC. On the other hand, no such mistake happened during the match between Pakistan and New Zealand, so how can it happen in the next match. This is the reason why Pakistan Cricket Board is not satisfied with ICC's answer.

ICC gave assurance

The matter heated up after Pakistan's name was not seen with the logo of the Champions Trophy. After this, the apex body of cricket, ICC, presented its clarification to PCB unofficially. According to the report, the ICC spokesperson has given an assurance to PCB along with giving clarification. He has said that Pakistan's name will be seen on the logo in all the next matches in Dubai. Such a mistake will not happen again.

There have been controversies before

Then Pakistan created another controversy by announcing to send the trophy tour to a city in Pakistan occupied Kashmir. Later, when BCCI opposed it, PCB had to cancel it.
