The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has received a warning from the International Cricket Council about its unwillingness to include the logo of Pakistan on the trophy kits of its winning team.

The International Cricket Council has given a strong message to the Indian board on this, according to Indian NDTV.

As part of its host nation policy, the Indian board claimed that it was not interested in having Pakistan’s name appear on their team uniform. However, the ICC rejected this claim.

In reality, the ICC has urged the Indian board to clarify that, since the country was the tournament’s original host, the Indian squad must have “Pakistan” printed on their uniform.

The majority of the country is anticipated to have cold, dry weather during the next 24 hours, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). However, hilly regions of Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and northwest Balochistan are forecast to see rain and snowfall.

During the morning and evening hours, fog is expected to affect several regions in Punjab and upper Sindh, which could impair vision and make commuting challenging.

The synoptic situation indicates that a westerly wave is presently affecting the country’s upper and western regions, bringing precipitation to these regions.

While Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Kashmir saw sporadic rain and snowfall, most regions experienced cold and partly overcast weather over the past 24 hours.

On Tuesday, the temperature in Leh dropped to -9 degrees Celsius, making it the coldest place in the nation.
