Ex-Captain Latif Reveals Pakistan's 'Checkmate' Plan Against ICC Over India Match

• Former captain Rashid Latif claims Pakistan government delivered a 'checkmate' to ICC by asking the team to boycott the T20 World Cup match against India in Colombo.
• The boycott is seen as a gesture of solidarity with Bangladesh, which was previously ejected for refusing to travel to India.
• Latif suggests that if Pakistan boycotts a potential semi-final or final against India, it would create a significant problem for the ICC.
• He believes Pakistan will qualify for the next round by beating Namibia, USA, and Netherlands, despite losing points from the India match.
• India and Pakistan are seeded in different Super Eight groups, meaning they can only meet in the semi-final or final.

Why It Matters: Pakistan's alleged boycott strategy aims to pressure ICC, creating a dilemma if they meet India in knockout stages.
