“PCB Breaks Silence On No Indian Flag In Karachi”

A controversy erupted on social media after a video showed the flags of participating nations at Karachi’s National Stadium for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but the Indian flag was missing. The video sparked debates and criticism of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for not raising the Indian flag, especially after India decided not to play its matches in Pakistan.

The PCB responded by saying that only the flags of the countries playing in Pakistan during the tournament were raised. Since India is not playing in Pakistan and will instead play its matches in Dubai, the Indian flag was not hoisted.

A PCB source stated that the controversy was based on a social media video created with an agenda to harm Pakistan’s image. The source clarified that the flags are only being raised for teams that have arrived in Pakistan and will be playing their matches in the country.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to send the Indian team to Pakistan over security concerns and political tensions, leading to the ICC’s decision to have India play its matches in Dubai.

The source emphasized that Pakistan’s cities, including Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, have banners featuring captains from all participating nations, including India, showcasing that the PCB intends to keep politics out of the tournament and ensure its success.
