PCB writes to ICC demanding explanation on national anthem blunder during AUS vs ENG Champions Trophy clash

India TV News  

PCB writes to ICC demanding explanation on national anthem blunder during AUS vs ENG Champions Trophy clash India's national anthem played for a brief period of two seconds just when the Australian anthem was going to be sung ahead of their clash against England in Lahore in the ongoing Champions Trophy. The Pakistan Cricket Board has blamed the ICC for the national anthem blunder on Saturday, February 22 during the fourth match of the ongoing Champions Trophy in Lahore between Australia and England. For the uninitiated, after England's national anthem 'God Save the King' was done and Australia's had to be play, India's 'Jana Gana Mana' played for a couple of seconds before being stopped instantly. With the never-ending diplomatic conflict between the two nations, it has been decided that India and Pakistan won't step onto each other's shores for the ICC events either of them are hosting until 2028.
