The ICC Champions Trophy faced embarrassing errors in the live feed, leaving organisers red-faced. During the fourth league fixture, the Indian national anthem played, despite concerns raised by the PCB about the absence of Pakistan’s name in the watermark. In another blunder, the Indian anthem played before the England-Australia match, followed by “God Save the King/Queen” and before the Australian anthem. The organisers attributed the mistakes to the event-management agency but faced backlash on social media. The ICC promised to correct the watermark issue after the PCB’s complaint, admitting the error. The logo during the India-Bangladesh game also omitted ‘Pakistan,’ which the ICC explained as a branding decision but agreed to rectify for future matches. Technical issues were resolved for subsequent games, with the ICC feed producer Sunset+Vine working to settle the creatives. Cricbuzz reported on the incidents.
