Wed Jan 22 12:04:49 UTC 2025: ## India to Wear Pakistan-Emblazoned Jerseys at Champions Trophy Despite Dubai Shift

**Dubai, UAE** – The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that the Indian cricket team will comply with International Cricket Council (ICC) regulations and wear jerseys displaying Pakistan as the host nation for the 2025 Champions Trophy, despite the matches being relocated to the UAE due to security concerns.

Earlier reports suggested a dispute between the BCCI and the ICC over the inclusion of Pakistan’s name on the Indian team’s jerseys. While India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan resulted in its matches being shifted to Dubai, the ICC reportedly insisted on maintaining the host nation’s logo as per tournament protocol.

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia dispelled rumors of any objection, stating that the Indian team will adhere strictly to the ICC’s dress code. He emphasized that India will follow all uniform-related rules, regardless of other teams’ actions.

The decision ends speculation surrounding a potential clash between the BCCI and the ICC. While the move resolves the immediate jersey issue, tensions remain between the BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following India’s refusal to play in Pakistan. Reports suggest the BCCI may face significant financial penalties in the future for hosting rights of upcoming ICC events. The ICC reportedly warned of strict action against the Indian team should the Pakistan logo not be displayed.
