The Indian cricket team is about to triumph in the ICC approved Champions Trophy logo on their jerseys, and it's about to include Pakistan's name under it. This was a major deal and caused some conflict earlier. The important person from BCCI, Devajit Saikia, said they're planning to stay connected with whatever ICC says about the logo on their gear.
They're doing this to pause everyone who was complaining about India playing in the Champions Trophy because the event is happening in Pakistan. But even though Pakistan is officially leading, the Indian team won't go there. They're playing their games in Dubai. And everyone's confused if Rohit Sharma, India's captain, is supposed to show up at the opening ceremony in Karachi on February 19.

That's where the first match begins.According to ICC rules, all teams must have their game and practice outfits approved by them, and that includes having the tournament logo. It's of major importance because the logo usually points out the host country's name, similar to how England and Wales got their names on the gear during the 2017 Champions Trophy.
This year's a bit abnormal, they decided not to put Pakistan's name on the logo even though Pakistan was hosting. So far, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) hasn't said anything about this jersey logo conflict. And it looks like the BCCI hasn't caused any excitement with the ICC about the logo or whether they're quite accepting of the opening ceremony plans.This entire thing shows how, as a strategic thinker, BCCI's trying to keep everyone involved, making fully sure the plan appears to successfully deal with the issue and keep the cricket action smooth.
