Indian flag controversy in Champions Trophy 2025

Notably, the incident happened just days after another controversy surrounding the Indian flag. The tricolour was seemingly missing at the National Stadium in Karachi prior to the star of the ICC event while it hoisted the flags of other participating nations.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) later clarified that the flags of all participating nations are being displayed at stadiums during the Champions Trophy matches held in the country. They highlighted India’s decision to decline playing in Pakistan and instead select Dubai as their venue as the primary reason.

However, the controversy was resolved when the Indian flag was raised during the opening match between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi.

Meanwhile, the hosts and defending champions Pakistan are already out of the ICC event after losing their first two games against New Zealand and India respectively.
