Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan: Why is Pakistan afraid of the tricolor?
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is being organized in three cities of Pakistan—Rawalpindi, Karachi and Lahore. After 29 years, Pakistan is hosting a major international cricket tournament, but its very beginning has been surrounded by controversies. A total of eight teams are participating in this tournament, but the Indian team refused to go to Pakistan due to security concerns and decided to play its matches in Dubai.
Although Team India may not be on the field, Indian cricket fans are excited about the Champions Trophy. With this enthusiasm, some Indian fans reached Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium to watch the match between Australia and England. But what happened there raised questions on Pakistan's intentions.
Misbehavior with Indian fan in Lahore
In this match played between Australia and England in Lahore, both the teams scored more than 350 runs and the match was very exciting. But during this match, an incident happened which further tarnished Pakistan's image.
An Indian fan present in the stadium, who was holding the tricolor in his hand, suddenly came under the target of Pakistani officials. As soon as the security officials saw that Indian fan, they immediately came into action. First they threatened him and then forcibly took him out of the stadium. During this, one officer grabbed his shirt, while the other snatched the tricolor.
As soon as the video of this entire incident went viral on social media, severe criticism of Pakistan started. Indian fans and cricket lovers expressed their displeasure over this incident and lashed out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Pakistan has been in controversies before
This is not the first time that Pakistan has shown its hatred towards the tricolor. Even before the tournament started, the Pakistan Cricket Board had refused to put up the Indian tricolor in its stadium. According to ICC rules, the flags of all participating countries should get proper place in any international tournament, but Pakistan initially violated this rule. When criticism intensified on social media, then it was forced to give place to the tricolor.
Will Pakistan be able to successfully host the Champions Trophy?
Pakistan has got the opportunity to host this tournament, but questions are constantly being raised about its security arrangements and behavior. There was already controversy over the Indian team's decision not to go to Pakistan, and now the misbehavior with Indian fans has added more fuel to this fire.
Now the question arises whether Pakistan is truly worthy of hosting an international tournament? Can it provide a safe environment for foreign players and fans? There may be more discussions on this issue in the coming days, but it is certain that Pakistan is continuously tarnishing its image with its actions.
