Did Pakistan purposely remove ‘India’ from their T20 World Cup Jersey?

Would PCB repeat this jersey thing in 2022/23 whenever the next T20 world cup/ODI world cup happens in India?

Why buy medicines from India?

Pakistan people buy or not ICC don't give a damn .but Pakistan player's will wear that jursey btw entire Pakistan buying durg's from India .

Interesting. Let's see what ICC has to say. Ultimately they will be deciding what should be on the jersey.

I believe that PCB will be told to put India on the shirts and they'll have to do it.

There is no way in hell British Pakistanis will ever wear a Pakistan shirt that has the word India written on it.
 
Even if I am gifted a shirt with India 2021 written on it, it will be tipexd out!

No way is manz having Modi’s rss version of India written on my chest!

whats more funny is that we have people here who have made it a BCCI thing. I realized most of our fans have zero knowledge about the rules of the game and would just come up with any conspiracy theory.

Most of them dont even know that Oman is also sharing venues
 
If removing ‘India’ is a Ramiz Raja orchestrated move and he sticks to it when ICC tells him to change it,

I will forgive him for excluding Sharjeel Khan!

That isn’t the dispute, should Pakistan be forced to have India written on their shirt if they don’t want it?

bro this is a very childish argument.

ICC host names always get mentioned on the jersey. It has been happening since 2014 especially in the world t20

But things between India and Pakistan have escalated too much since 2014. Especially in 2019 when India were ready to poke the bear and infuriating Pakistan to nuclear war with them. Things haven’t improved since either.

I don’t think Pakistanis are as soft hearted as they were in the initial stages when this conflict broke out in 2009. I certainly can not fathom wearing a shirt with India written on it especially after all the water that has passed under the bridge in the last 3 years.

If ICC tells PCB to put India on the jersey they will have to.

But i will be shocked if it comes to that. Because even PCB cannot be so foolish to try and pull off something like this without actually having some solid ground.
 
Love it. Really want PCB to take this fight till the end like they did with the MOU case vs BCCI.
It is a stupid rule anyways. If Pakistan is hosting a tournament, I wouldn't want Indian players to wear/display anything remotely related to Pakistan.
So appreciate the sentiments of PCB and Pakistan fans here. Keep up the fight.

I think Rameez Raja is instilling much needed Jazba and Janoon in the PCB.
No way Pakistan players are wearing a T-Shirt with words "INDIA" written on it.

Well. I don’t think 99% of the Pakistan fans will buy the shirt. Or at least the replica shirt sold by the PCB merchandise shop should not have India on it.

VIVO backed out due to negative sentiment regarding Chinese phones in India. BCCI didn't ask them to leave and even then it was told that they're pausing it for a year till situation improves. Doesn't hurt to research a bit before trolling.

Didn't Pakistanis buy 2016 WT20 shirts too?
 
[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION], nobody is crying over it. It is insulting and disrespectful to not put the name of the host nation on the Shirt even if its held in another country. I would say the same if Pakistan were the host nation and India did not put their name on the shirt. Anyway its something silly, hopefully not intentional and they will have it changed before the 1st game.
 
If this was done intentionally, it was a pretty petty thing - its not as if Pakistan would have forfeited the WC if it was being played in India. As somebody correctly pointed out above, all the matches Pakistan hosted in UAE in the past decade are not considered as away matches by ICC, similarly UAE as a venue does not make this an UAE hosted event - it is still an India hosted event. ICC most likely will take PCB to task over this & get them to rectify those jerseys.
 
looks like a genuine mistake than malicious intent. Will be corrected
 
Imagine if (when) they boss us with this jersey next Sunday. :(
 
Imagine after all this controversy, the official jersey unveil has India written on it.

Would be quite embarrassing for some Indians who seem to be offended and for most Pakistanis here who have somehow turned into a patriotic thing.

Clowns on both sides.
 
This India vs Pakistan game is probably the first time there is so much heated rhetoric coming from Pakistan while Indian media has been largely quiet ( Indian media is more busy with politics and festival season )

Pakistan is doing all the heavy lifting to generate some hype and heat ahead of the game :P

Agreed. To be honest with you, even if it has happened, I really don't think it was some patriotic stand or protest etc. More likely to be incompetence as I said earlier.

Rajdeep said:
Thats the hypocricy on BCCIs part and I dont agree with it. Either you play Pakistan in all cricket or dont play them at all, even in ICC events. But it looks like ICC want to exploit this game as cash cow and to fill their pockets. So you are right as far as this hypocracy is concerned.
Click to expand...

Naah bro, not a hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is a deep rooted belief. This move of India not playing Pakistan in bilateral is a well thought of diplomatic move. Also diplomatic is the fact that no Government in India will take the risk of disallowing India's chance to win an ICC tournament. There would be a huge backlash from the Indians.

The two are not the same and this is difficult to understand for many posters from Pakistan on this forum.

What matters more? India winning an ICC tournament or Indian Jawaans being butchered on the LOC the very same day when India wins an ICC tournament?

I’m drawing this from your argument in which you say the Indian government will take the risk of disallowing India’s chances to win an ICC tournament, even if it comes at the expense of making sure Pakistan does not get 2 points through a walkover.

So I ask the people who support this logic, what matters more? 2 points to Pakistan or the fact that according to India, Pakistan are regularly slaughtering Indian soldiers on the LOC? The sacrifices of the Jawaans are only limited to bilaterals?
 
So now India playing Pakistan in ICC tournaments but not playing them in bilaterals is a logic Pakistanis can not understand....

My God I am speechless!
 
I think the job is done.
The fact that it has garnered attention is enough.

I said GOI will not take risk of angering Indians by pulling out of ICC tournaments. You misread my post.
The general population however doesn't care if GOI stops bilaterals with Pakistan.

What job? Its just pure pettiness and childish even from PCBs standards. Even if they write UAE in the jersey instead of India, what job it would serve? Will Modi surrender Kashmir or will Pak players be allowed to play in IPL? What purpose does it serve apart from needless drama?

Even school students act more maturely and that is why I think its a fake news. I dont think PCB will act like this in a world cup.

In a family a child always do notanki before everything like eating food ,To go school untill his dad so him a 'Danda' .:shhh
 
I guess 99 pc of indian crick lovers woudn't care less if pak designed their own shirts.
Wheres the narrative coming from that the whole of India is doing moonwalk somersaults on a high wire that the shirt now carries the words 'uae 2021' .
End of the day its the 11 on the field vs the other 11 that counts.
But yeah, i get the 'we showed them, we stood up to them' - 'they are responsible for everything wrong' gravy train....everything except introspecting oneself...
any ways, the happenings of the recent days, sposoring the board, the whole blank cheq hungama and now this is just adding more pepper to the game....If it did'nt have enough already :afridi

Rana jeee. No one in pakistan cares about what is written on shirt.

Also not everyone in pakistan buys cricket jerseys anymore. It isnt cool or fashion to wear a pakistan cricjet shirt as it is viewed cringworthy.

Even if people buy it, they dont buy the real shurt, they buy the fake ones which are cheap.

People like us who follow pakncricjet and do discussions on forums we represent a small niche which doesnt really be efit the sales of shirt

In Pakistan they may not buy them but abroad they do. Replicas or real shirts, they love to wear them on big occasions like family gatherings/parties for Pakistan cricket matches during world cups etc.

As I said, in the current political climate the PCB will be shooting itself in the foot trying to sell its shirt with India written on it. It’s like asking Muslims to wear a football shirt with Isreal written on it somewhere

I’m sure plenty of Pakistanis feel equally outraged at India’s oppression of Kashmir in the exact same way the Muslims are outraged at Isreal’s oppression of Palestine

Would you wear a shirt with Israel written on it?

Its like the Indian team wanting to wear military caps on a field of play.
Petty yes but it gets people talking.

If one non Indian or Pakistani see's this and asks why Pakistan have done this it opens up a debate.
If that one person now has the information as to why it was done then thats job done!

They get to make up their own mind.
The point is that it opens up a debate and keeps the issues in the limelight.

I'm surprised you even asked
 
It will have India have on it

Now I understand why Pakistan still hasn't launched their kit. They made a genuine mistake and will correct it

Quite a misinformed post.

The manufacturer received the official logo from the ICC did they not? So then why would the manufacturer print it with UAE on it instead of India?

How is wearing army caps and paying tribute to the fallen soldiers, "petty"?

How is that anywhere close to the pettiness of refusing (allegedly) to have the host nation's name on your kit while 19 other teams have done so without any issues?

The manufacturer did not draw the World Cup logo from scratch. It received the template from the ICC. You do not genuinely mistake it to have UAE written on it unless you have manually altered it to be so.

Because those 19 other countries are not viewed as enemy states by the host. Pakistan is!

Or are you saying all 20 teams have equal rights towards each other???

Depends where is it being worn. If you wear that against Pakistan or in an ICC tournament than its an issue as you could be making a political statement indirectly.

Which is why when dhoni had that insginia on his gloves in the ICC tournament, he was forced to remove it by the ICC>

Because the deaths were allegedly caused by Pakistan.
So to wear army hats on the field of play was a petty act.

the other teams are not being maligned by the Indian Government.
