Champions Trophy: pakistan ignores indian national flag..!?

After eight years, the Champions Trophy series will be held in pakistan and dubai on the 19th. The top 8 teams in the ODI rankings will participate in this series. The defending champions pakistan, india, New Zealand, and bangladesh are playing in Group A. Similarly, Australia, South Africa, England, and afghanistan are playing in Group B. In this situation, the indian team refused to go to pakistan to play due to security reasons. Due to this, the matches played by india and the first semi-final will be held in Dubai. If the indian team qualifies for the final, the final will be held in Dubai.
In this context, the Karachi and Lahore stadiums in pakistan were renovated for the Champions Trophy series. In this context, it is customary for each team's national flag to be flown on the stadium in the ICC series. Currently, only the flags of seven countries are flown in the stadium in Karachi. Fans have accused it of not having the indian national flag. Fans have said that this is an insult to india and that if the indian flag is not flown, the indian team should not play in the Champions Trophy series. However, the pakistan Cricket Board executive, who has given an explanation for this, has explained that only the flags of the countries that come to play in pakistan are flown and that they did not put up the indian national flag because india has not come to their country. Since Jay Shah is the president of the ICC, fans have insisted that Jay Shah should intervene in this matter. It is noteworthy that while india had already protested that they would not put the name pakistan on their jersey, now pakistan has also boycotted the indian national flag.
