A video of Pakistan’s National Stadium without the India flag among the flags of participating nations has sparked a controversy ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. The video from Karachi emerged on social media and was widely shared by cricket fans. The missing Indian flag at the Champions Trophy venue left quite a few fans stunned and ignited a heated debate on social media. Fans speculated that the reason could be related to the fact that the Indian team is playing all of its Champions Trophy matches in Dubai.
The Karachi Stadium is scheduled to host matches for New Zealand, South Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and England teams. Just a few days before the start of the event, a video emerged from the venue where flags of the participating nations could be seen, leaving fans wondering why such an act by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was executed.
