BCCI U-Turn: Pakistan's Name on Team Kit Sparks Controversy | GamingFit

BCCI confirms Pakistan’s name will feature on India’s jersey for the Champions Trophy 2025

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced that it will comply with the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) uniform regulations for the Champions Trophy 2025.This confirmation puts to rest recent speculation about India's stance on including Pakistan's name on their kits.

BCCI’s Official Statement on ICC Uniform Rules

BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia addressed rumors suggesting India opposed featuring Pakistan’s name on their uniforms, labeling such reports as baseless.

“BCCI will strictly adhere to every ICC uniform-related rule during the Champions Trophy 2025," Saikia stated, as reported by PTI. "We will follow the logo and dress code requirements in letter and spirit, just like all other teams."

The ICC’s dress code mandates all teams to display the tournament’s official logo, which includes the host nation's name. Since Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy 2025, its name will feature prominently on the tournament logo used across all team kits.

Why Pakistan’s Name is on India’s Jersey

The inclusion of Pakistan’s name on India’s jersey is part of the ICC’s standard uniform regulations. These rules ensure uniformity and promote the host nation’s branding during international tournaments.

While India’s matches will be played at a neutral venue in Dubai under the hybrid model approved by the ICC, Saikia clarified that no final decision had been made regarding Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s participation in media engagements in Pakistan.

“Whether Rohit Sharma will travel to Pakistan for ICC media engagements is still undecided,” Saikia revealed.

Rohit Sharma’s Participation in Media Engagements

The BCCI’s decision to follow ICC guidelines highlights a commitment to ensuring smooth participation in the global event. However, questions remain about Rohit Sharma’s involvement in promotional activities in Pakistan.

This announcement comes amid broader discussions surrounding India’s participation in the tournament, with security and logistical arrangements being key considerations.

Focus on Security and Logistics

The BCCI’s decision to comply with ICC rules underscores its focus on maintaining a professional approach to international cricket. With the Champions Trophy 2025 just around the corner, fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on India’s preparations for this high-stakes tournament.
