The ICC has released a match official to begin the proceedings of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 proceedings from 19th February 2025, and no Indian Umpires and referees were found in the panel of 15 members. There is no official confirmation, but there are reasons to talk about it.

These 12 umpires and 3 Referees are the official representation of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Why no Indian Umpires and Referees, Here are the possible reasons: The absence of Indian Umpires and Referees wobble some key issues between Indian and Pakistan, but still there the factors the ICC would list and possible reasons would be

1. ICC Selects Neutral umpires to avoid any controversies between nations.

2. India's top umpire, Nitin Menon withdrew due to personal reasons.

3 . Ongoing, Indian and Pakistan tensions.

4. Indian umpires refused to travel Pakistan.

5. ICC rotates official representation for fair game play.

But the official reasons still need to come.
