In a significant development, BCCI Secretary, Devajit Saikia has broken his silence on the ongoing row over India's Champions Trophy jersey. Saikia, speaking to PTI, confirmed that the Men in Blue will have Pakistan's name on the jerseys.

A couple of days ago, there were reports that India will not feature Pakistan's name on their jerseys. The decision created a stir on social media as several fans and pundits bashed India and BCCI for not adhering to ICC's rules. 

However, in the latest developments, the BCCI secretary has confirmed that indeed India will follow ICC's guidelines and have Pakistan's name on the jersey.

"BCCI will follow every uniform-related ICC rule during the Champions Trophy. Whatever the other teams will do regarding the logo and dress code, we are going to follow in true letter and spirit," he added.

However, Saikia said that whether national captain Rohit Sharma participates in the ICC's pre-tournament engagements, including a press conference and official photo shoot, in Lahore is still being discussed.

"Whether Rohit Sharma travels to Pakistan for ICC media engagements is something that's still not decided," Saikia added.

It is worth noting that even for Rohit's travel to Pakistan for the Captains meet, there were reports that the Indian skipper will not be attending that event. However, the secretary has opined on that as well and remarked that the decision is yet to be taken on that matter. Inputs have been taken from PTI.
