ICC Warns Pakistan of 'Long-Term Implications' Over T20 World Cup Boycott Threat
- •The Pakistan government approved participation in the T20 World Cup 2026 but plans to boycott the February 15 clash against India.
- •The ICC issued a strong warning to the PCB, citing "long-term implications for cricket in its own country" due to "selective participation."
- •ICC emphasized that its tournaments are built on integrity and fairness, and selective participation undermines the spirit of competition.
- •The global cricket body urged PCB to find a "mutually acceptable resolution" to protect all stakeholders' interests.
- •This decision follows Pakistan's earlier threat to boycott the entire event in support of Bangladesh, whose demand to move fixtures from India was rejected by ICC.
