Pakistan out of Champions Trophy in 5 days

After winning the title, when the award ceremony was held, there was not a single officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board on the stage. While PCB CEO and Champions Trophy tournament director Sumair Ahmed Syed was present in Dubai. The PCB said that he will file a complaint with the ICC regarding this matter.
A PCB source said on Monday that Mohsin Naqvi, president of the board, is not satisfied with the clarification given by the ICC in this regard. The source said, “The ICC has clarified that it had prepared to come on the stage of Mohsin Naqvi, so when he did not come in the final, he changed his plan.”
PCB has rejected this explanation and said that the ICC made several mistakes regarding the situation of Pakistan as the host country during the tournament. This includes changing the logo of the Champions Trophy 2025 in the live telecast of the match played between India and Bangladesh.

Also, playing the Indian national anthem in the match between Australia and England played in Lahore was also a big mistake. Whereas the ICC claimed that the Indian national anthem was rang for a few seconds before fixing the mistake due to the play-list disturbances. Pakistan has been troubled in all these cases.
A few days before the start of the tournament, flags of all the countries participating in the Champions Trophy were placed in the stadium of Pakistan. But the Indian tricolor was not installed. During that time also Pakistan was severely criticized. But then the PCB secretly improved this mistake and in the opening match at the Indian tricolor stadium.
