ICC Faces Criticism Over Promotional Poster
The ticket launch follows a wave of backlash directed at the ICC after releasing the official T20 World Cup 2026 poster without featuring a single Pakistani player.
The artwork highlighted stars from major teams but completely excluded Pakistan, leading to:
-
Strong social media criticism
-
Claims of ICC bias
-
Renewed debate over BCCI’s influence on global cricket
Fans across Pakistan have demanded the ICC update promotional material to include national players, especially ahead of the tournament’s biggest match.
