The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is making headlines, but not just for the cricket. A controversy erupted during the India vs. Bangladesh match in Dubai when fans noticed something missing—the host country Pakistan’s name was nowhere to be seen in the tournament’s official logo on the broadcast.
As expected, speculation ran wild. Was it an oversight? A deliberate move? A controversy brewing? But before things could escalate further, the International Cricket Council (ICC) stepped in with an explanation.
What Really Happened?
An ICC official clarified that the omission was simply a technical glitch in the broadcast graphics. The spokesperson assured fans that the issue would be fixed from the next match onwards.
“The omission was due to a graphics-related technical issue, which will be rectified from tomorrow. It was not possible to change the logo during the match.”

Interestingly, the official also pointed out that Pakistan’s name was visible in the official social media clips, proving that the glitch was limited to the live TV broadcast.
Timing of the Controversy Raises Eyebrows
This explanation comes at a time when tensions around the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 have already been simmering. Just last month, reports from Indian media suggested that India’s jersey for the tournament would not feature Pakistan’s name in the logo.
That report had sparked outrage among Pakistani fans, leading to calls for action. However, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) later clarified that it would follow ICC guidelines and sport the official tournament logo as required.

As soon as the issue surfaced, cricket fans across both countries flooded social media with reactions. While some questioned the timing of the “technical glitch,” others were quick to call for calm, waiting for the ICC’s official word—which has now arrived.
What’s Next in ICC Champions Trophy?
With the clarification in place, the focus should now shift back to cricket—where it belongs. The Pakistan-India showdown on February 23 is fast approaching, and that’s where all eyes should be.
For now, let’s hope the only glitches we see from here on out are in fielding, not in broadcasting!
