The BCCI has made its stand clear on the ongoing controversy over the Indian team’s jersey for the Champions Trophy 2025. The board has made it clear that the Indian team will follow the guidelines set by the ICC for the Champions Trophy. That is, the name of the host will be on the team’s jersey.
In fact, ICC reacted to the Indian jersey between PCB and BCCI. According to an ICC official in a report, “It is the responsibility of every team to put the tournament logo on their jersey. All teams must follow this rule.” The rules require all teams participating in ICC tournaments to wear the name of the host nation on their jerseys, regardless of where the patch is located.
According to a recent report by Cricbuzz, the Indian team will follow the guidelines set by the ICC for the Champions Trophy, especially regarding the official logo. The BCCI has confirmed that the Indian jersey will feature the official ICC logo, including the Pakistan imprint. BCCI secretary Devjit Saikia said, “We will follow the ICC guidelines.”
The report said that when BCCI secretary Saikia was asked about Pakistan being written under the ICC’s official logo, he reiterated, “We will follow the ICC’s instructions.” Saikia’s statement ended the uproar over India’s objection to the official logo. Pakistan is the host of the Champions Trophy which will be played from February 9 to March 9. However, the Indian team will play its match in Dubai.
