The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has finally broken its long silence over Indian cricket team's jersey for the Champions Trophy 2025, after reports claimed that the side won't use the logo of 'Pakistan' - the designated hosts - on its jersey. Generally, the norm is that the official logo of any ICC event will have the host country's name.
