India’s Champions Trophy 2025 jersey with ‘Pakistan’ imprint goes viral (Photo Source: ICC)
India are all set to begin their Champions Trophy 2025 campaign on Thursday, February 20, when they take on Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
Ahead of the clash, the Men in Blue unveiled their jersey for the marquee event. The interesting feature of the jersey was that the host country’s name – Pakistan – was imprinted on it. India skipper Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh were seen sporting the new colours as they posed for the cameras.
However, what hogged the limelight was the name of Pakistan on their jersey. There were speculations that India would not be wearing jerseys that feature the Pakistan imprint as part of the official logo of the tournament. Besides, the BCCI secretary had earlier confirmed in an interview that the Indian team will follow the guidelines set by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The ICC shared pictures of the Indian cricketers who were bestowed with ICC awards and ‘Team of the Year’ caps ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025.
Interestingly, India didn’t have Pakistan’s name printed on their jersey when they played the Asia Cup 2023. The Men in Green were the hosts of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC)-organised event.
