Ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup, the Pakistan Cricket team has sparked a controversy by writing ‘T20 World Cup UAE 2021’ instead of ‘India 2021’ on their jersey for the mega event, in a leaked picture on social media.
A picture is doing the rounds on social media in which Pakistan captain Babar Azam can be seen sporting the kit for the tournament with UAE written on it as the host. “ICC Men’s T20 World Cup UAE 2021”, reads the top right of the jersey of the batsman.
The T20 World Cup was originally to be played in India, however, due to the existing Covid-19 situation in the country, it was shifted to UAE and Oman. But, BCCI is still the official host of the mega event and hence, all team jerseys should have ‘ICC Men’s T20 World Cup India 2021’ written on them, according to ICC rules.
