Clarification on Team India’s Jersey
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has addressed the controversy surrounding Team India’s jersey for the Champions Trophy 2025. The issue arose when it was claimed that Pakistan’s name would not be included on the jersey, despite being the host country of the tournament. However, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia has stated that the team will adhere to the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) guidelines, which require the host country’s name to be featured on the jersey along with the ICC logo.
ICC Guidelines for Jerseys
According to the ICC’s rules, all participating teams must display the tournament logo, their respective board’s logo, and the host country’s name on their jerseys. This means that Team India’s jersey will feature the Champions Trophy logo, the BCCI logo, and Pakistan’s name, as the host country. The BCCI has confirmed that they will comply with these guidelines, putting an end to the ongoing controversy.
Team India’s Participation in the Tournament
Although Team India will not be traveling to Pakistan for the tournament and will instead play their matches in Dubai, UAE, the ICC’s guidelines still apply. The BCCI has made it clear that they will respect the rules and regulations set by the ICC, ensuring that Team India’s jersey meets the required standards. With this clarification, the controversy surrounding the jersey issue has been resolved, and Team India can focus on preparing for the tournament.
