The International Cricket Council (ICC) is facing criticism for its perceived unfair treatment of Pakistan, the host nation for the upcoming Champions Trophy. Reports suggest that the ICC's handling of the trophy tour announcement has revealed a lack of regard for the host country. According to sources, the ICC's press release failed to acknowledge Pakistan as the host nation. The statement made no mention of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), its officials, or the designated venues for the tournament. The ICC also did not include any references to the Champions Trophy schedule, venues, or logos featuring Pakistan.
