**Dubai, UAE –** The International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy 2025 has been embroiled in controversy after Pakistan’s name was inexplicably omitted from the tournament logo during the live broadcast of the India-Bangladesh match in Dubai.

While the logo correctly displayed Pakistan’s name during the tournament opener, it was absent during the India-Bangladesh game, sparking a social media uproar. The ICC swiftly responded, attributing the omission to a “graphics-related technical issue” and assuring that the error would be rectified. A spokesperson stated that the logo, including Pakistan’s name, would be displayed in all future broadcasts of India’s matches.

Despite the ICC’s explanation, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly requested a formal explanation, even after receiving informal communication from the governing body.

The incident overshadowed pre-match commentary, where former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh predicted a Pakistan advantage in their upcoming clash against India, citing Pakistan’s familiarity with Dubai’s conditions due to extensive previous matches in the city. Singh also highlighted the strong spin bowling capabilities of both teams, anticipating a potential advantage on slower wickets. He emphasized the importance of adaptability and seizing opportunities in the high-stakes rivalry between the two nations. Pakistan currently holds a 3-2 advantage over India in Champions Trophy history, including a resounding victory in the 2017 final.
