The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) stated that the Indian team shall abide by the International Control Board emblem and Champions Trophy criteria.
So, it is now official that India’s fifth uniform has been sanctioned, and it will feature the official ICC emblem which contains Pakistan’s mark.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said “we shall follow whatever the ICC lays down”, hoping to subdue the ruckus hyped around the Indian jersey and Champions Trophy emblem. When it was pointed out that Pakistan appears beneath the official ICC emblem, Saikia returned the answer, “We will follow the ICC directive.”
Saikia’s statement rests the dispute regarding India’s intimation on the official emblem of the rejoinder circumvention, as the team would not be traveling to Pakistan in the first place. Hosts of the tournament, Pakistan, shall stage the Champions Trophy from February 19 to March 9, while the Indian squad will conduct their games in Dubai.

In 2017, competing teams of the Champions Trophy had kits from England and Wales.

The ACC’s Asia Cup sponsorship made it clear that there was a shift in policy. The name of the hosting nation did not need to be included.
The PCB has said that they have not heard on this subject. It won’t be public, but it’s understood that there will be no statement from the ICC, since they have not been approached by BCCI concerning this issue, or the opening ceremony for that matter. All Information Provide to Laserbook
