PCB had created a controversy over an Indian flag before the start of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. There was no flag of India at the National Stadium in Karachi. The Indian team is also participating in the Champions Trophy. Even though Team India’s matches are in Dubai, the flag of India should have also been there. Whether it is a mistake or deliberately the Pakistan Cricket Board has done so, but if the dispute started on it, the board has improved it after a few days. Now the Indian flag will also be waved in Pakistan. The PCB has now also put an Indian flag in Karachi.
Some pictures and videos of Karachi’s National Stadium went viral on social media. There was no flag of India, while the flag of all other countries participating in the Champions Trophy was. However, now in the new photos, India’s flag for the Champions Trophy is placed with other parties.
At the same time, despite playing in Dubai on the Indian team’s jersey, the name of the host nation i.e. Pakistan has been written. However, there is still no India flag over the stadium, as the Indian team will play in Dubai. In such a situation, this flag has been placed inside the stadium.
At the same time, IANS quoted a PCB source as saying that, as you know, India is not coming to Pakistan to play its match during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Flags of countries have been hoisted at the National Stadium in Karachi, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium and Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, which will be played in the places.
