ICC Mismanagement Led to PCB Snub at 2017 Champions Trophy Ceremony

The PCB was excluded from the Champions Trophy 2017 final ceremony due to ICC’s mismanagement, as revealed by a former ICC official. Despite Pakistan’s victory, no PCB representative was invited on stage. The oversight resulted from last-minute changes and poor coordination. Najam Sethi, then PCB chairman, later received an apology from the ICC. The incident highlighted strained relations and organizational flaws. The official clarified that it wasn’t a deliberate snub but an unfortunate lapse in protocol, adding to long-standing tensions between PCB and ICC.
