IND vs PAK / PCB reached ICC with its grievances, demanding answers on this incident

IND vs PAK: The much-awaited match of Group-A of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played between India and Pakistan on 23 February at Dubai International Stadium. There is a lot of enthusiasm among cricket lovers about this match, but even before this, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has lodged its complaint with the ICC regarding a dispute.

PCB's objection to the Gaddafi Stadium incident

Actually, a unique incident happened in the match played between Australia and England at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, which surprised everyone. Before the start of the match, when the players of both the teams came to the field for the national anthem, suddenly the national anthem of India started playing for a few seconds. This incident was shocking, because the Indian team is not playing in Pakistan and all their matches are to be held in Dubai.

On this unexpected mistake, the Pakistan Cricket Board has written a letter to the ICC seeking clarification. According to news agency PTI, the PCB has directly held the ICC responsible in this matter and has demanded a clear answer.

PCB's letter to ICC

The PCB wrote in its letter that when the Indian team is not playing any match in Pakistan, then keeping their national anthem in the playlist and playing it by mistake is beyond comprehension. This is the second time that the PCB has formally written a letter to the ICC. Earlier, the PCB had also objected to Pakistan's name not being shown on the TV screen during the match played between India and Bangladesh in Dubai. On this, the ICC admitted its mistake and said that a horizontal logo of three lines will be shown in all the matches to be held in Dubai, which will also include the name of Pakistan.

All eyes on India-Pakistan match in Dubai

This match between India and Pakistan to be held at the Dubai International Stadium is going to be the biggest attraction in the cricket world. Both teams will put in all their strength to win this match.

Looking at the current form of the Indian team, it is being considered a strong contender in this match, but the Pakistan team also has the ability to upset. The toss is going to play an important role on the slow pitch of Dubai, as chasing the target can prove to be difficult here.

Cricket lovers are now eagerly waiting for February 23, when this high-voltage match will be played. It will be interesting to see what strategy both the teams adopt for this great match and which team wins.
