CT: No India flag among flags of participating nations in Pakistan stadium, fans furious

Deccan Chronicle  

A controversy was ignited after a video on social media platforms claimed that the India flag is not put at the Karachi stadium in Pakistan along with other participating team flags ahead of the Champions Trophy. While some users gave calls for Indians to carry national flags to stadiums, some others vented out at the Pakistan Cricket Board calling the move 'childish'. I urge every indian at Dubai to carry the Indian flag and paint the stadium in tricolor #ChampionsTrophy2025 #iccchampionstrophy2025 #Tricolor #BCCI However, a section of fans are speculating that the decision was taken because India chose to not travel to Pakistan and are playing all of their matches at a neutral venue -- Dubai. The much-anticipated ICC 50-over tournament would begin in 2 days on February 19 with arch-rivals India and Pakistan set for a face-off on February 23.
