Champions Trophy 2025 / PAK's name missing from CT's logo? Did not appear in IND-BAN match, ICC told the reason

During the India-Bangladesh match, Pakistan's name was not visible on the logo of Champions Trophy 2025, which created controversy. However, this was not the case in the Pakistan-New Zealand match played in Karachi. ICC called it a technical mistake and assured that the name will be visible in future matches.

Champions Trophy 2025: A new controversy has emerged regarding the Champions Trophy 2025. During the India-Bangladesh match, the name of the host country Pakistan did not appear on the logo of the Champions Trophy, which has fueled speculation among cricket fans. The incident has raised many questions, especially when the name of Pakistan was clearly visible on the logo during the match between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi.

How did the controversy start?

During the live telecast of the match played between India and Bangladesh, the name of Pakistan was missing from the logo of the Champions Trophy appearing on the screen. Whereas when the first match was played between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi, the name of Pakistan could be clearly seen on the logo. Seeing this difference, the controversy gained momentum. Questions began to arise whether the name of Pakistan would be missing from the logo only in India's matches or in the matches played in Dubai?

What clarification did the ICC give?

After the matter escalated, the International Cricket Council (ICC) clarified and called it a technical flaw. ICC spokesperson said that Pakistan's name was removed from the logo due to graphics related problem during India-Bangladesh match. He also assured that Pakistan's name will remain on the logo in the next matches.

Will the controversy escalate?

This is not the first time that there has been a controversy over Pakistan's name. Some time ago, there was a debate over the absence of Pakistan's name on the Indian team's jersey. However, before the tournament started, it became clear that Team India will take the field with the official logo of Champions Trophy on its jersey, which will also include Pakistan's name.

At present, despite ICC's clarification, this issue does not seem to be completely settled. It will be interesting to see in the upcoming matches whether ICC sticks to its promise or this controversy deepens further.
