In an exciting development ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that the Indian cricket team will sport jerseys featuring Pakistan’s name, along with the official tournament logo. This decision aligns with the strict guidelines set by the International Cricket Council (ICC) regarding the use of approved logos for international events.

The confirmation came after some speculations from the Indian media, which had initially questioned whether Pakistan’s name would appear on India’s jersey. However, BCCI Secretary Debajit Saikia clarified that the Indian team will adhere to the ICC’s official regulations, which mandate the use of the event’s logo on all team uniforms.

Speaking to a cricket website, Saikia stated, “We will follow ICC guidelines. The official logo of the ICC Champions Trophy will be featured on the Indian team’s jerseys, including the necessary details such as Pakistan’s name, as required by the tournament regulations.”

According to ICC’s regulations, all participating teams are required to display the approved tournament logo on their playing and training kits. Any failure to comply with these rules, including improper use of the logo, could result in the kit being rejected.

Sources suggest that the recent ICC delegation’s visit to Pakistan further emphasized the importance of adhering to such guidelines, as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was keen on ensuring the proper implementation of these policies.

The move to include all participating nations’ names in the official event branding reflects the ICC’s effort to maintain uniformity and fairness across the competition. With the growing anticipation surrounding the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, cricket fans worldwide are eager to see how teams, including India, embrace the official tournament regulations.
