Pakistan team has reached Sri Lanka for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Pakistan team is in Group A in the tournament. India, Netherlands, USA and Namibia are also in this group. Similarly, all the 20 teams have been divided into four groups. Every team will play one match each against all the teams of its group in the league stage, but Pakistan has suddenly refused to play against India in the league stage. However, till now the Pakistan Cricket Board i.e. PCB has not accepted the International Cricket Council (ICC)ICC) Has not been informed about this in writing. Meanwhile, a report has come out which is going to shock the senses of Pakistan.

A media report has claimed that Pakistan is not getting support from any country for boycotting the match against India. He is alone on the ICC board. It has been told in the report that Pakistan had contacted many countries, but all of them called it wrong. Pakistan has become completely alone in world cricket on this issue.

In a report by NDTV, quoting sources, it has been said that the cricket boards of other countries have given a curt reply to the PCB. Everyone is saying that Pakistan is boycotting the match against India without any concrete reason. Pakistan has created this crisis unnecessarily. Pakistan has no legal right in this matter.

Neutral venue chosen with the consent of Pakistan

For your information, let us tell you that PCB, ICC and BCCI have mutually agreed to provide neutral venues to India and Pakistan in all ICC tournaments till 2027. As per Pakistan’s demand, it has to play its matches in Sri Lanka in the 2026 T20 World Cup. The match between Pakistan and India is also to be played in Sri Lanka. In such a situation, there is no security threat here. In such a situation, Pakistan has no basis to withdraw from this match.

Now ICC will punish

According to the report, ICC can give severe punishment to Pakistan in this case. Due to lack of support from other countries, Pakistan may have to face a heavy penalty in the ICC board meeting. If Pakistan does not withdraw its decision, then ICC can impose a penalty of about 38 million dollars. Apart from this, a ban may also be imposed on Pakistan. If this happens then the bankruptcy of PCB is certain.
