WEB DESK: International Cricket Council (ICC) has admitted to an error after Pakistan’s name was absent from the Champions Trophy logo during the live broadcast of the India vs. Bangladesh match in Dubai.
In the second match of the tournament, viewers observed that the live broadcast featured a tournament logo that excluded Pakistan’s name, despite the country serving as the official host.
This oversight sparked concerns among cricket fans, as it is customary for ICC events to prominently feature the host nation in their branding.
In a curious turn of events during the opening match of the Champions Trophy in Karachi, the logo accurately displayed Pakistan’s name as the host nation.
However, this was not the case in Dubai, where the logo shown during the India vs. Bangladesh game excluded Pakistan’s designation, leading to confusion among fans and viewers.
An ICC spokesperson clarified that the issue resulted from a technical glitch in the graphics, which will be corrected from today onward. They explained that while the logo couldn’t be updated mid-broadcast, all future transmissions will display the correct version.
The spokesperson also assured that Pakistan’s name was present on the Champions Trophy logo in clips shared across ICC’s social media platforms, confirming that the issue was limited to the live broadcast graphics.
