Pakistan consider boycotting India clash at T20 World Cup: Report

  • With the T20 World Cup opening on February 7, the Pakistan Cricket Board is considering withdrawing or boycotting the event as Pakistan national cricket team prepares to play all matches in Sri Lanka, starting against Netherlands.
  • After Bangladesh's removal, Pakistan Cricket Board publicly sided with the Bangladesh cricket team, with Mohsin Naqvi calling the International Cricket Council's decision `double standards`.
  • Mohsin Naqvi met Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to discuss options, briefing him on scenarios including not sending a team or boycotting the India vs Pakistan match in Colombo on February 15.
  • Pakistan national cricket team revealed their squad last week amid pull-out threats, while the International Cricket Council warned of sanctions including Asia Cup exclusion and no NOCs for Pakistan Super League overseas players.
  • Because the group stage starts on February 7, officials face a compressed decision window as Mohsin Naqvi said Pakistan will reveal their final decision on Friday or Monday .
