PCB's T20 World Cup 2026 Boycott Threat: Political Posturing or Real Concern?
- •PCB head Mohsin Naqvi met PM Shahbaz Sharif to discuss Pakistan's participation in the T20 World Cup 2026 after ICC removed Bangladesh for refusing to play in India.
- •Pakistan expressed displeasure over ICC's decision and threatened to boycott the T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
- •An insider revealed Naqvi's focus is on maintaining good relations with ICC and other boards, suggesting the boycott threat is political posturing.
- •Boycotting could lead to a loss of over Rs 300 crore, potentially devastating Pakistan cricket.
- •Pakistan has no grounds for boycott as their request for neutral venues was accommodated, and India plays them in global events; travel arrangements for the team to Sri Lanka are already made.
Why It Matters: Pakistan's T20 World Cup boycott threat appears to be political posturing, aiming to maintain ICC relations.
