On what grounds will we boycott this game?

its not PCB fault if the Pakistani government are not allowing Pakistan cricket team to play with India. so ICC and BCCI can't do jack all since PCB are not at fault as its not PCB decision.

You are forgetting shifting matches from India was made by BCB.... not by BCCi... why you are keeping mum over PCB who invoked BCB to boycott and pretended them they would also done the same.

BcB is cheated by PCB in broad dayline

I guess you didn't read between the lines. 4 jokers had PCB included in it ... (BCB, ICC, BCCI, PCB). You can also include bd/Ind gov and their population to the list.

Really hope they do this (boycott only game) but I am sure they won’t

Right now 90+% public of Pakistan will support boycott India game if a vote was held

Boycotting the World T20 is best way to save the embarassment they will face against india

:klopp :kp
 
There are reports that PCB president Mr Naqvi met Pakistan T20 world cup 2026 squad players. He took their opinion regarding participation in the upcoming world cup . They all said they are ready to accept any positive or negative decision which will be taken by Pakistan government or PCB .

What is your opinion regarding what is going to happen next?

If something does happen, it will be the most idiotic decision ever taken by a cricket board in the history of this sport.

I doubt they boycott, this is just posturing. These clowns are just inviting more pressure on the team by these antics. Just shut up and get on with the game now.
 
The problem is you can't just commit to a tournament after the games have been diarised. Bangladesh have valid reasons for axing this. If Pakistan wanted to boycott it, they should have taken a stand long before the scheduling was done.
 
Never seen more incapable person than Naqvi. What a joker. Doing this bongapan less than 12 days from our first match. Idiot of the highest order.
 
‘What has Bangladesh ever done for Pakistan cricket?’ Wasim Akram​


Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has urged Pakistan to stay focused on cricket amid the growing controversy surrounding Bangladesh’s participation in the ICC T20 World Cup.

Reacting to speculation that Pakistan might follow Bangladesh in boycotting the tournament, Akram said, “Why is Pakistan thinking of boycotting the T20 World Cup because Bangladesh don’t want to play? What has Bangladesh ever done for Pakistan cricket? I don’t see the point in this. Pakistan cricket needs to focus on itself. Focus on the game and try to win the World Cup.”

Amid the uncertainty over regional participation, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Sunday announced its 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup, even as it awaits final clearance from the government to travel for next month’s tournament.

Bangladesh’s stance on refusing to play matches in India has drawn criticism from former cricketers as well. Ex-India captain Mohammad Azharuddin said Bangladesh would be the only team to suffer if it pulled out, insisting there were no security concerns.

“If they don’t come, it is their loss. They cannot complain about our security system. A lot of international matches are going on, and no team has complained. If they don’t come, it will be their loss and a loss for their players. Our country is very secure,” Azharuddin told ANI.

According to reports by ANI, the ICC is considering strict action against Bangladesh if it withdraws from the T20 World Cup 2026, with a final decision expected soon. Jay Shah is reportedly in Dubai, holding discussions on the matter.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh Test captain Najmul Hossain Shanto admitted that the uncertainty was impacting players. “As a player, there is definitely some worry about the future because we face uncertainty. It is not just me; everyone is in a state of uncertainty,” Shanto told The Daily Star, urging stakeholders to reach a compromise so cricket could continue smoothly.

It makes no sense for them to boycott it. We have to be practical. :inti

I don't think any other team would boycott to show solidarity with another country. I know Bangladesh is unlikely to do that either.

Only reason boycott makes sense is to hurt BCCICC. But, they can hurt BCCICC without boycotting the whole world cup.
 
People like Wasim Akram have been beneficiaries of the BCCI for more than a decade

Pakistani players were not allowed to play in the IPL but he was allowed to coach

BCCI has been his benefactor in the past

His indirect affection for the BCCI and Indian govt via criticism of BD is understandable

There are many movie and music entertainers also who had India as a benefactor. One singer declined to wave a Pakistani flag in an Overseas Pakistan day event because he didn't want that image to spread on the net

They have every right to support the people from whom they benefited

Others have every right to disagree with them and they are in far larger numbers than the beneficiaries of India in Pakistan
 
People presuming that Pakistan has no justified reason to boycott the tournament are not taking into consideration the fact the abuse of power by an office of the organization via discriminate treatment of the members is a good ground for protest

If you have a strict delivery deadline at your office and an executive racially abuses your colleague infront of you and you leave your job right away on protest...your employer can take you to the court but good luck to them for suing you for an opportunity costs of missing the deadline

1. Pakistan is playing in Sri Lanka, not India. India doesn't visit Pakistan, and Pakistan doesn't have to visit India either.

2. It's an ICC tournament, where India has never refused to play Pakistan.​

14 out of 16 members voted against Bangladesh. So you can keep lying about abuse of power but those 14 members will testify wherever needed.

They also failed to prove any security issue in India, so your example also falls flat. That only works if there was actual racial abuse proven, not if all the employee just lied and threw a tantrum
 
There's always off-field drama before each and every tournament now, it's become part of the sport. Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have all played their role for the current edition.

Although, Bangla got handed a morale-shattering deal, akin to a chittar.

Whatever little goodwill we have got from the last few years will be destroyed by this dumb decision.

Pakistan will be seen as the pest that is nothing more than a nuisance moving forward from here.

To be honest, Naqvi knows his cricket team is garbage and will not get him any headlines whatsoever, so he is resorting to these cheap publicity stunts to get in the limelight.

It’s PR 101 I guess.
 
Winning the World Cup is beyond Pakistan, but winning Banglu hearts is still a certainty if they choose to boycot the tournament. Question is, do Pakistan even care about banglu hearts? Time will tell.
 
Better for Pakistan to boycott the India game as protest . Even if it means losing points and possibly getting eliminated
 
“According to sources Pakistan Cricket Board is considering various protest options regarding Pakistan team’s participation in the T20 World Cup, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has also held consultations with board officials and former players.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has already spoken in support of the Bangladesh team.
“Bangladesh has been treated unfairly; we cannot leave the Bangladesh team alone,” Mohsin Naqvi said while speaking at a PSL workshop.
Under the first option, Pakistani players may participate in T20 World Cup matches wearing black armbands to show solidarity with Bangladesh.

As a second option, the Pakistan team may boycott the match against India scheduled for February 15 in protest against India’s behavior.

The third option is to dedicate every match victory in the T20 World Cup to Bangladeshi cricket fans.

The final decision on participation in the T20 World Cup and these options will be made by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
A meeting between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi regarding Pakistan team’s participation in the World Cup is expected today.”
 
What can BCCI/ICC do if Pakistan boycott the match against India? They can’t throw Pakistan out of the tournament can they?
 
It’s a bit late now so highly unlikely, but ICC better off trying to shift one of NZ or SA into the Pakistan group and they swap with one of those teams.

Better to have all matches that can draw revenue instead of missing the big one.
 
If its srilanka then I would urge pakistan too boycott....Bangladesh didn't even send their team when the likes srilanka, westindies and zimbabwe are coming....
 
Rana said:
I don’t understand what’s wrong with Mohsin Naqvi? This is not your fight! There is no need to give these bombastic statements in the media invoking government involvement!

India went ahead and still played the Asia cup under your leadership after Bunyan al Marsoos. They got on with cricket and business. Yes their behaviour was $hit but they fulfilled their obligation!

You’ve done well to make this World Cup a co-host program and have all your matches in Sri Lanka. They have been fair in accommodating PCB/Pakistan. Do not be stupid and backtrack due to a matter that has none of your concern!


Nobody, and I mean NOBODY stood up for Pakistan in its years of exile since 2009! Everyone went ahead and got their money! What is the need for Pakistan to become this hero all of a sudden??

Just let it go! Do not be stupid and make this about your bloody ego!

Sorry, i respectfully disagree. This is EXACTLY the time to boycott and stick it to the deserving İCC and BCCİ who have humiliated and dragged you through the mud so many times
İt's not even completely about Bangladesh atm, it's the total misuse of İCC, which more often than not is against us

BCCICC will impose series of financial section as Pakistan can't boycott the single match.

To boycott the match you have following reason

1) security issue
2) a team not to visit another country as goverment denied the permission.

Here Pakistan is playing in Lankan so there is no security issues.

So according to MPA which Pakistan already signed, they can't forfeit the much without facing penalty.

ICC is controlled by BCCI so they will maximize the penalty to Pakistan as much as they can according to ICC rules.

@Bhaijaan @Rajdeep @Devadwal @cricketjoshila

Let’s not think with our hats of patriotism here and let’s just find a realistic cricketing solution for once….

What issue would either South Africa or New Zealand have if their matches are shifted into Sri Lanka and they play the group of Pak, Namibia and Netherlands?

These SENA teams will run at the opportunity to play in Sri Lanka instead of India. You know this is true no matter how much you will deny it. Sri Lanka is way more appealing than India is from a western exoticism pov. It’s the reason why Ireland refused to swap groups because they much rather enjoy their paid holiday in Sri Lanka knowing they will be knocked out in the first round.

Don’t take this as an insult to India or its tourist perception. India is beautiful in its own way too. I’m just asking you from a financial/business pov to think this is one way to reduce the massive revenue chunk expected if in the case Pakistan announce they will not play the 15th February fixture.
 
All this drama just for us to lose to Ned and the Yanks and being forced to play against India to stay in the competition.

Only Babar can save us from the pooshow.

This is the perfect example of cutting your nose to spite your face. Yes there will be short term impact on BCCI but in the long term sponsers and india will just learn to play without Pakistan and it will impact PCB a million times more and other boards will be against them

Also once again lying and blaming BCCI politics when it was sri lanka and Ireland which refused to change groups, when 14 out of 17 country voted against Bangladesh

Building your castle on air about hurting BCCI based on absolute lies and delusions is not gonna work out in real world. Those 14 countries will boycott you too.

ha, an İndian defending BCCİ, how very original.
Lying and blaming BCCİ is wrong? lol they are the most disruptive and troublesome board on İCC who always cause Pakistan problems and you have a nerve coming here and defending them
Yes, the rest of the boards need the BCCİ money and know that BCCİ won't create any direct problems for them but as PCB you always know that sooner than later they will come for you again

If you are under the impression that Pakistan has investors like the new PSL franchises….well it’s their ambition too to invest in making their brand/business most profitable by investing in foreign overseas talent. The ICC can halt that or cause serious dents to PCB if we pull off moves that cannot be justified right at this moment.

Pakistan is not playing in India. There is no justifiable reason to boycott besides emotion.

That’s not an intelligent arguement at all. International cricketers are all well travelled people and apart from travelling to some great places during cricket days they also spend time at the finest resorts with their families in the off season.

The only priority during a tournament is winning and teams prefer the best playing conditions.

Maybe it’s not the same with Pakistan players who also have a separate job of trying to convert people during tours or find a job after cricket in those places. That’s not the misfortune of other countries players who play cricket to win tournaments.

So you are going to make this about Indian ego again than actually look for a viable solution. As we speak, 15th February is slipping away bro. The purpose of us being cricket fans dies if this match isn’t taking place. Still, there are lots of boards besides the top 5-6 whose financial stability depends on ICC revenue. Why do you feel ICC just cant swap with Nz or SA and salvage something?

Pakistan are equally likely to get knocked out having to face SA or NZ instead of India, and India are equally likely to advance having been put in that group too even with SA and NZ both in the group

Not a wise move to boycott this fixture or ICC tournaments even in this political climate .

Will be cricketing suicide especially for boards who are dependent on ICC revenues to sustain their cricket.

Pakistan are already playing in SL.

From a purely cricketing POV, I think all future ICC tournaments in South Asia should be moved to other venues - South Africa, UAE and UK primarily- until the geopolitical climate sorts itself out.
 
Pakistan must not boycott, because there is no upside.

There are many other options to register dissent with India/ICC decisions, and to show solidarity with Bangladesh.

The tournament will not be impacted by Pakistan's absence at all, and neither will ICC. No other team will boycott and it will just look petty.

Next time around they simply won't lump them together. Plus Pak might have some punitive measures imposed on them.

One match is not affecting ICC revenue that much. Plus other boards now also have IPL money in form of their local leagues.
