Pakistan to skip T20 World Cup 2026 group match against India

Dr_Bassim said:
We shouldn't budge anyways.

No matter what ICC promises.

India will just invade Pakistan at their opportune time before a bilateral, blame Pakistan for aggression and invoke a Force Majeure clause while everyone is looking open mouthed at the whole fiasco.

You can't be bitten twice by the same Indian government.

Thats insanity.

India will not play at bilateral series with Pakistan in near future and ICC can't do anything about it.

ICC don't Have have authority to gave promise to PCB and this is fake news drama nothing more than that.

This is chooran sell by Pakistan for face saving exit from this fiasco.

No more lollipops from the ICC, BCCI. There needs to be a signed legal agreement for all demands put forward by the PCB on the ICC letterhead on legal paper certified by lawyers from both sides, signatures from all ICC members including BCCI, PCB, ICC chairman, signatures, stamps from the Indian, Pakistani govt and $200 million minimum in a trust escrow account immediately encashable in PCB's favour upon any violation by the ICC, BCCI with full recourse to the CAS.

Once all of the above has been put forth, done and signed, then and only then should the PCB request the Pakistani government to change their position on forfeiting the Feb 15 T20 WC game with India otherwise the forfeit is fully on.

Wake-up from the dream . Pakistan Surrendered after one ICC warning and likely take U turn to play the match.

There is neither Pakistan can do nore they can take advantage here.

Now going forward Pakistan has lost any leverage ( india - Pakistan match in ICC event's) they have .

From next cycle there will be no guarantee india - Pakistan matches in ICC event's and broadcasting rights sell according to that

Pakistan has to come to Play in india for champion trophy or stay at home.

Pakistan is Only irrelevant due to India - Pakistan match in ICC event's( that's only due to because political rivals, otherwise Pakistan is Minnow when compared to India )

:klopp :kp
 
So we are back to the first position, after all this spectacle and so-called show of bravery. According to PCB, this is all good, but is the world so crazy?

Does anyone believe the BCCI will agree to revive bilateral ties with Pakistan?

So you are throwing a childish temper tantrum and refusing to play and are blaming india?

And you also think a professional team following rules is somehow a bad thing?

Shows the mentality of the entire nation where someone being professional is bad and loser while throwing childish temper tantrums like a toddler is somehow a great thing. Also shows the path both countries are on and why one is a failed nation with immature citizens.

And you accuse others of being in denial when all you have done is like a child refuse to play, and you had got nothing in return

And we are in denial. Sure buddy.

That must have taken some insane amount of cognitive dissonance, to label Indian behavior as professional while Pakistan as toddler or whatever.

India has been invoking force majeure for a decade or longer. Pakistan just started doing it. Not to mention the handshake stuff, or the trophy stuff. Have a look in the mirror before talking. This is the classic "when we do it it's Mujra, when you do it it's dancing" kind of post.
 
IMO the PCB shouldn’t agree to play unless they get some substantial assurance like the resumption of test cricket between the two countries. Otherwise the whole fiasco will go down in history like this: “the Pak government threatened to not play against India in the 2026 T20WC but later backtracked under pressure. The ICC officials flew to Lahore and offered the PCB and BCB a bag of chips and they agreed.” I’m not joking.

For all this drama and saga, if the match happens , hope it lives up to its hype and doesnt end up as a one sided damp squib.
 
Resumption of bilateral ties is a reasonable demand by the PCB, but they are directing it at the ICC, which is not the appropriate authority. Individual boards are responsible for planning and arranging bilateral matches, not the ICC. Boards only report to the ICC once everything is finalized, after which the ICC assigns its officials and oversees the process.

Considering this may be the last time India and Pakistan are placed in the same group in an ICC event, the ICC is likely to offer some concessions to the PCB, and the India–Pakistan match will take place. Naqvi will save face for now, but in the future the PCB is likely to face strict action or backlash from the BCCI and ICC for attempting to avoid an India–Pakistan encounter.

I don't actually care who invades who.

You think Pakistan invaded India?

Fine.

Let's accept it.

But don't you walk out with a straight face saying Indian will not invoke the Force Majeure clause at their will before bilaterals to skip playing Pakistan.

According to a report in Telecom Asia Sport, the PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi listed three demands in front of the ICC to end the boycott call. He demanded higher revenue share from the world body and also asked for resumption of bilateral cricket ties with India. Moreover, he also demanded that the Indian players shake hands with the Pakistan players in the T20 World Cup​

I agree.

I don't think Pakistan should budge from boycott.

I would be delighted if despite ICC trying it's best, India lands in Sri Lanka all alone to claim the two points.

You don't want handshakes..

You don't want bilaterals.

Why the hell do you want to play Pakistan anyways ?

Just cut out the ******** and move on with your life.

Stop making cricket a source of settling personal political scores.
 
Do people seriously think that a BJP government controlled BCCI is going to make any meaningful concessions to Pakistan?

Regardless of whatever is claimed in public?

This collection of vindictive, rightwing, hard eyed businessmen?

Hence my belief that if PCB turns up to play, it would most likely mean it has compromised its stand.

Not sure if the broadcasters will agree to India and Pakistan being placed in different groups, it is pretty clear that 40-50% of the ICC broadcast revenue, sponsorship money and money made in India during Indo Pak games during ICC tournaments is because of the Indo Pak game in the ICC tournament. The broadcasters and commercial partners will never agree to this, its easy for the BJP govt and Indian nationalists to talk about not playing with Pakistan during an ICC event but money ultimately talks.

By now it is clear 40-50% of ICC and Indian economy money during ICC events is a result of the India Pakistan game and there is no way the Indian broadcaster will agree to putting money in an ICC event without Indo Pak ties.

You are underestimating the pettiness and vindictiveness character of people in the subcontinent.

Consider:

BCCI expels a player as some sort of a power play response to a political situation.

BCB ended up giving up an entire WC in response to the expulsion of a single player in a private league.

PCB takes a joyride with what is essentially not its direct business.

Greed is universal, but so is stupidity.

BCCI/ICC must have some backup plan, which is why they’re so confident about not putting Pakistan and India in the same group. Maybe they’ll arrange things so that at least one Pakistan–India match happens in every future ICC event after the group stage. This way, BCCI/ICC can avoid the blame of deliberately putting Pakistan and India in the same group.

Indian media is literally just pure filth. Its a disgrace to even call anything they produce journalism. Imagine they claim to be the world’s biggest democracy yet have voter fraud and a totally comrpomised media which is known as the fake news factory of the world.

The only somewhat credible newspaper from India is “The Hindu”. Not to be confused with Toilet (Times) of India and Hindustan Times.

Even the most optimistic reading of the situation will get Pakistan nowhere near that.

Bilateral series at this juncture are an utter impossibility as I'm sure even you can see from the political environment.

The best that can be done from what I can see is for Pakistan to be promised a share closer to England and Australia i.e 6.5% or so compared to the 5.75% it gets in this round. That's a nice 15% increase or about $5m annually assuming the deal stays at around the same current level. They can shave about 0.2% each from Sri Lanka, West Indies, New Zealand and South Africa.

Even this will require an ICC general meeting and will be a very contentious discussion.

I think it depends on how much influence the Ambanis have and how much risk the BCCI is willing to take with the financials of world cricket (since it's own are reasonably secure).

The BCCI has been pretty conservative for a long time now - incremental rather radical steps. They'll be happy to continue steadily squeezing and marginalising political rivals like PCB and BCB but I don't see them taking a big risk like this and letting the dice fall where they may.

In my reading, they'll compromise as long as the concessions are small and mostly symbolic.

Shaking hands is the only one thing that may be agreed to as it can be considered a genuine request. I am not sure PCB's other blackmail demands will be met. IT is in bad faith. Holding smaller nations to ransom. India , Australia, England will not feel a pinch even if pakistan goes through with it. It will be the smaller nations and PCB itself will get the raw end of the stick. That includes their "naive" friend Srilanka.

I don't really believe the bit about the bilateral series. I'm skeptical if Pakistan would ask that and even more skeptical if India would agree to it.

Actually these opportunities don't come often so i am not surprised if everything is being discussed now including revenue share too. Once this moment goes, PCB won't be in a similar position of bargaining power soon. This was a tough stance and they have earned themseves a bargain now. ICC and BCCI would be wise to gove them somethign substancial so they can keep Pakistani awaam happy.
