Pakistan's name was missing from the logo during Thursday's (February 20) India vs Bangladesh fixture's broadcast from Dubai, an incident which has prompted an official inquiry from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Broadcast anomaly The tournament logo, typically displaying "Pakistan Champions Trophy 2025", appeared without the host nation's name throughout India's six-wicket victory over Bangladesh. This marked a notable deviation from previous broadcasts, including the tournament opener in Karachi. Inconsistent display While Pakistan's status as host nation remained visible during the tournament opener between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi, and Friday's Afghanistan-South Africa encounter, its conspicuous absence during the India match has raised eyebrows at PCB headquarters. ICC's stance The International Cricket Council (ICC) has informally attributed the omission to "an early technical error". However, this explanation has failed to satisfy PCB officials, who note that broadcast graphics are prepared well in advance of matches. Timing and context The controversy emerges days before Sunday's highly anticipated India-Pakistan clash in Dubai. The ICC has assured that similar issues won't affect future broadcasts, regardless of venue location in Pakistan or the UAE. Background tension This incident reopens wounds from recent hosting disputes. Despite Pakistan securing full hosting rights initially, they were forced to compromise after India cited governmental restrictions on playing in Pakistan. The resulting arrangement sees India's matches, including potential finals, hosted at neutral venues. Future arrangements The compromise extends beyond this tournament, with Pakistan agreeing to play their matches at neutral venues during ICC events in India for the next three years. The PCB has demanded assurances against future occurrences, particularly with several crucial matches remaining in the tournament.Original Article
