The ICC released photos of Indian players receiving their ICC awards and Team of the Year caps before the Champions Trophy 2025. The images also showcased the team's new kit for the tournament, featuring the Champions Trophy logo and, notably, the name "Pakistan" as the host nation.
Contrary to earlier speculation, India will indeed wear jerseys featuring the Pakistan imprint as part of the official Champions Trophy logo. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed that the Indian team will comply with ICC guidelines, putting an end to rumors of a potential jersey controversy.
