India’s team, led by Rohit Sharma, will not feature Pakistan’s name on their jerseys for the Champions Trophy 2025, despite the event being held in Pakistan. This decision comes amid escalating political and security tensions between the two countries.
PCB’s Response
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has strongly criticized the move, accusing the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) of politicizing cricket. A PCB official stated that India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan and not sending their captain to the opening ceremony is a direct challenge to the integrity of the event.
