The Pakistan Cricket Board has pulled up the International Cricket Council for the national anthem goof-up in Lahore. The organisers at the Gaddafi Stadium played the 'Jana Gana Mana' instead of Australia's national anthem on Saturday.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi visited Dubai Stadium ahead of the highly anticipated Pakistan-India match. During his visit, Naqvi observed the Pakistan team’s practice session, interacted with the players, and held discussions with the coaching staff.

Before the Australia vs England Champions Trophy 2025 match at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on February 22 (Saturday), a bizarre mix-up saw India’s national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ mistakenly played instead of Australia’s ‘Advance Australia Fair.

India may not be playing any match of the Champions Trophy on Pakistan soil but the Indian national anthem certainly made its way across the border. A glaring error ahead of the game between Australia and England saw the national anthem played in Lahore.

Those who gathered at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore for the ICC Champions Trophy match between Australia and England witnessed a massive goof-up as the Indian national anthem was played for a few seconds as both the teams stood for their respective national anthems.
