About 6 days before the start of T20 World Cup 2026, the Government of Pakistan announced that their team will participate in the tournament, but will not play the match against India on February 15 in Sri Lanka. Now, in a new claim that came out about 3 days before the start of the World Cup, it was said that the India-Pakistan match is still completely possible. Talks are going on behind the scenes regarding the match.
Former Chief of Pakistan Cricket Board i.e. PCB, Najam Sethi made a big claim in an interview given to Aaj Tak that it is still completely possible for a match between India and Pakistan to take place in the upcoming T20 World Cup. His claim has obviously surprised the fans. Now the question is arising whether Pakistan will make a U-turn? Apart from this, Sethi also talked about Bangladesh.
Pakistan deliberately announced
Najam Sethi said that Pakistan deliberately announced its decision in advance, so that the path of talks could be opened. Sethi believes that a solution can still be found. Apart from this, he said about Bangladesh that Bangladesh can also be allowed to play in Sri Lanka.
Pakistan ready for any legal fight
He said that BCCI is constantly under pressure. Now this pressure needs to be stopped. Talks are continuing behind the scenes. Najam Sethi further said that if ICC does not show softness in its stance, then Pakistan is ready for any kind of legal fight.
Agreed on the government’s decision
The thing to note is that Sethi completely agreed with his government’s decision. He said that cricket boards are bound by the instructions of their government. Apart from this, he reminded the old case and said that when BCCI was stopped from playing by the Indian Government, then why are questions being raised on Pakistan now?
ICC’s decisions are one-sided for BCCI
Sethi also alleged that due to India’s economic strength, the decisions of the International Cricket Council (ICC) become one-sided for BCCI. Rest he attributed the real reason of the current dispute to Bangladesh. He said that Pakistan and Bangladesh have stood together on this issue.
