PCB Faces Financial Ruin, ICC Suspension Over T20 World Cup Boycott Threat
- •Mohsin Naqvi's PCB threatens to boycott the 2026 T20 World Cup, risking severe financial and administrative crisis.
- •Pulling out could cost PCB millions, including a potential $38 million in damages from broadcasters if the India vs Pakistan match is cancelled.
- •ICC regulations and Tournament Participation Agreement (TPA) legally obligate participation; withdrawal could lead to suspension and loss of membership rights.
- •PCB stands to lose its annual $34.5 million share of ICC revenue, largely from the Indian market, crippling domestic cricket and player payments.
- •Boycott could impact PSL by deterring overseas players and lead to Pakistan's isolation in international cricket, jeopardizing future tours and hosting rights.
