India won the title of Champions Trophy 2025 by defeating New Zealand by 4 wickets in the final held at Dubai International Ground on March 9. Team India captured the title after 12 years. Took revenge for the defeat after 25 years. As soon as the Indian team won the Champions Trophy, there was a ruckus. Actually, after the victory, when BCCI President Roger Binny presented white coats to the Indian players and medals to the match officials. At the same time, ICC President Jay Shah handed over the trophy to captain Rohit Sharma. During this, no representative of the host PCB was seen on the stage. Then what, the ruckus started from here. On this whole matter, former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar shared a video on social media platform X and said that “India won the Champions Trophy but no representative of PCB was present on the stage after the final. Pakistan was the host. He did not understand why no one from PCB was there.” Let us tell you that Pakistan was the host of Champions Trophy 2025, but India played all its matches in Dubai. Even the India-Pakistan match was played in Dubai and the final match was also played in Dubai.
Now ICC has broken its silence in the whole matter (Champions Trophy 2025)
Seeing the uproar increasing, now ICC has broken its silence in this whole matter (Champions Trophy 2025). ICC spokesperson said in a conversation with private media channel India Today that PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi was not available. He was not even in Dubai. According to the rule, only officials can be called for the trophy presentation, so no official from PCB was available for this. Pakistan was the host and some official or representative from Pakistan should have been present there. According to a PTI report, PCB Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sumair Ahmed was present at the ground after the final. But he was not invited to the ceremony. He is also the director of the tournament.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi could not go to Dubai (Champions Trophy 2025) due to being busy
A source told PTI that PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi could not go to Dubai (Champions Trophy, 2025) because he could not reach Dubai due to being busy as Home Minister. But the CEO of PCB was sent to represent Pakistan in the final and award ceremony. Meanwhile, he said that “for some reason or misunderstanding, he was not called on the stage from where ICC President Jay Shah, BCCI President Roger Binny and Secretary Devjit Saikia presented medals and trophies to the Indian players. Well, the absence of any representative of PCB shows the growing dominance of BCCI. Interestingly, the host Pakistan first missed the final and then the final went out of Pakistan. This is probably the first incident when the final is being held outside the host country.
