The discussion going on in the team is that we will play the first match on 7th February and then we will go there. We have played good cricket against them.

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.

Pakistan Boycott T20 World Cup 2026 Match Against India! If Pakistan refuses to play in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, then it knows very well that the International Cricket Council (ICC) will play its band. Along with this, Pakistan will get many severe punishments including ban and will have to face huge losses in world cricket. In such a situation, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made a clever plan to avoid the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and ICC. If reports are to be believed, Pakistan is preparing to take revenge from India for the Champions Trophy and Asia Cup by not playing the match against India on 15th February.

Will Pakistan boycott India’s match?

If the match between Pakistan and India does not take place in the T20 World Cup 2026, then ICC may suffer a huge loss due to this. Cricket experts are seeing this as a masterstroke for Pakistan. Actually, Pakistan knows that if it refuses to play the match against India then ICC will not be able to do any harm to it. In the name of loss, he will only lose two points but ICC can take action against him if he leaves the entire T20 World Cup.

Many teams have already abandoned their matches

Anyway, this would not be the first time that a team has refused to play a match against another team in a big ICC event like the World Cup. This first happened in the 1996 World Cup when Australia and West Indies refused to play their group-stage matches in Sri Lanka. Because of this he had to lose two points. This was seen for the second time in the 2003 World Cup, when England did not play its match in Zimbabwe. Similarly, New Zealand had refused to tour Kenya and both the teams had to lose their points.
