Indian national anthem played in Lahore before Australia vs England as ICC messes up

Before the much-anticipated Champions Trophy match between Australia and England, a significant mistake occurred at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Instead of playing 'Advance Australia Fair', the Indian national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, unexpectedly filled the air, catching everyone off guard.

Typically, both competing teams' national anthems are played before each match. 'God Save The King' was supposed to be followed by 'Advance Australia Fair', but for a brief moment, the Indian anthem played before the error was corrected.

Below is the video capturing the moment when India's national anthem was mistakenly played.

India had already made it clear that they would not be traveling to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, leading to a unique arrangement where India would play all their matches in Dubai. Their next game against their long-time rivals, Pakistan, is set for Sunday, February 23.
