It definitely does something that causes a dispute. After a video went viral on social media, the controversy arose even before the ICC Champions Trophy started. Fans have raised questions about the Indian flag is not visible at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and National Stadium in Karachi. The flags of the rest of the countries participating in the trophy were engaged in the stadium, but the flag of India was missing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Claim in viral video- India&#8217;s flag is not in Pakistan&#8217;s stadium<\/strong><br \/>This led to a debate on social media and many fans were surprised. The real reason for the absence of Indian flag is not clear yet. However, it is believed that India is playing in Dubai all its Champions Trophy matches, so Pakistan may have done so. New Zealand, South Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan and England are going to be matched at Karachi Stadium. A video of the stadium surfaced a few days before the tournament started.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did Pakistan do such inferior handiwork<\/strong><br \/>The flags of all countries were seen in this video, not just the flag of India. Fans want to know why Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) did this. The Indian team refused to go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. After this, PCB and International Cricket Council (ICC) had to convert the tournament into hybrid mode. Under this agreement, India will play all its matches in Dubai. If the team reaches the semi -finals and finals, then that match will also be in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team India did not go to Pakistan for Champions Trophy<\/strong><br \/>According to the agreement between BCCI, PCB and ICC, Pakistan will not play its matches in ICC events in India. The dispute has come to light just before the start of the ICC Champions Trophy. In the viral video on social media, flags from other countries are seen in Karachi&#8217;s National Stadium, but the Indian flag is missing. Fans are surprised by this and there is a debate on social media. However, the exact cause of the absence of Indian flag is not yet clear. It is estimated that since the Indian team is playing in Dubai all its Champions Trophy matches, PCB may not have put the Indian flag.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Flag of every country except India in Pakistan&#8217;s stadium<\/strong><br \/>The Karachi Stadium will host the matches of teams from New Zealand, South Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan and England. A few days before the tournament started, a video of the stadium surfaced, in which the flags of all the participating countries were visible, but there was no Indian flag. Fans are surprised by this and want to know why PCB did this.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian team refused to visit Pakistan citing security reasons, causing the PCB and ICC to convert the tournament into hybrid mode. Under this arrangement, India will play all their matches, including semi -finals and finals in Dubai. Under an agreement between BCCI, PCB and ICC, Pakistan will not play its matches in ICC events to be held in India in the coming years. This decision reflects the complexity of cricket relations between the two countries. However, the fans hope that the game will remain and the tournament will be successful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi Pakistan does not desist from its antics against India.
