The Hindu
Champions Trophy in Dubai, India's matches moved due to security concerns, BCCI to follow ICC uniform rules.
The Indian cricket team will adhere to the dress code set by the ICC during the upcoming Champions Trophy, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told PTI on Wednesday (January 22, 2025), rejecting speculation that the Board had objected to host Pakistan’s name on the side’s official jersey.
The Champions Trophy will be held from February 19 and India will play its share of matches in Dubai after citing security concerns as the reason for refusing to travel to Pakistan.
“BCCI will follow every uniform-related ICC rule during Champions Trophy,” Saikia told PTI.
“Whatever the other teams will do regarding the logo and dress code, we are going to follow in true letter and spirit,” he added.
However, Saikia said that whether national captain Rohit Sharma participates in the ICC’s pre-tournament engagements, including a press conference and an official photo shoot in Lahore, is something that is still being discussed.
“Whether Rohit Sharma travels to Pakistan for ICC media engagements is something that’s still not decided,” Saikia added.
There were some unconfirmed media reports that the BCCI had objected to the host nation’s name being embossed on their jersey, which is an established practice for all ICC events, owing to the tense political ties between the two countries.
