VIDEO: ICC Issues Stern Rebuttal on Lack of PCB Officials At ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Podium

A new controversy was stirred up by Pakistan after India won the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final vs New Zealand on March 9. Questions were raised as to why it is that no one from the Pakistan Cricket Board, who were the official hosts of the tournament, was present on the podium during the trophy giving ceremony. The ICC has now issued a statement on the matter and put the blame for this solely on the PCB, as they sent no one who could actually represent them on the podium.
