Pakistan cricket team has taken a big and shocking decision regarding the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. The Pakistan government has approved the team’s participation in the tournament, but has also attached an important condition to it. According to the government order, Pakistan cricket team will not play the match against India on 15 February 2026. That means Pakistan will enter the tournament, but the match between India and Pakistan will not be seen.

Cricket fans were surprised as soon as this decision came to light. At the same time, users on social media have also started trolling Pakistan fiercely. Many users are saying that Pakistan has already refused to play the match due to fear of defeat by the Indian cricket team.

The official X handle of the Government of Pakistan informed about the decision not to play in the match against India to be held on 15 February 2026.

However, the team will not play the scheduled match against India on 15 February. After this announcement, social media users started enjoying the Pakistan team. Many people even said that Pakistan has already trembled after seeing the destruction of New Zealand.

Pakistan refuses to play India in the World Cup!
​They knew what’s coming on Feb 15, so they backed out early. Smart move—at least they saved themselves from a 300-run thrashing! ??? We get the points, they get to keep their dignity.#IndVspak pic.twitter.com/SSwf0vXIpp

Pakistan trembled after seeing the defeat of New Zealand

After this decision of Pakistan, there was a flood of memes and comments on social media. Users say that Pakistan is scared of India’s current batting lineup. Regarding this, a user commented that the Indian batsman is in excellent form, hence Pakistan knows that it cannot defeat India, hence it chose the path of boycott. Another user sarcastically said that the way Tilak Verma and Team India had embarrassed the Pakistanis in the Asia Cup, Pakistan refused to play the World Cup match due to the same fear. Apart from this, many users even said that Pakistan saved itself from great humiliation by deciding not to play the match. One user wrote in the comment that he knew what was going to happen on February 15, so he retreated ahead of time and did the sensible thing. Another user commented that by not playing the match, Pakistan has not caused the loss to India but India has progressed even without playing the match.
