Pakistan is adamant that they will not play the group stage match with India in the T20 World Cup 2026, which is scheduled for February 15 in Colombo. The Pakistan government has announced through a post on social media that their team will participate in the tournament but will not play the match against India. The next 48 hours are important in this, there is a possibility that ICC may take some action. Let us tell you that Pakistan Cricket Board has not given formal information to ICC in this regard, that is why ICC is not able to take any action. It is being claimed in the report that a case is being made against PCB for breaking the contract with ICC, due to which strict action can be taken against PCB.
what is contract
India had refused to go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, after which Pakistan had threatened to boycott the tournament. However, then an agreement was reached that Pakistan will also not go to India and will play its matches on neutral venues. A source told Times of India, “In the contract that the PCB has signed with the ICC and India, it has been made clear that it and Team India will have to participate in ICC events and play against each other, but the match will be at a neutral venue. There is no clause related to force majeure in it.
Force majeure applies in cases which are sudden or unavoidable. Natural disasters, extreme political situations etc. are included in this. But ICC sources made it clear that this clause cannot be applicable in this case, because it only involves political objection.
Will Pakistan do this in all sports?
ICC source also said in the report whether this policy of Pakistan will be applicable to all sports? It has to be clarified whether the Pakistan government has decided not to play any game with India? If the Pakistan government adopts a similar stance in other sports, then the International Olympic Committee can also ban them.
