Irfan Pathan: Pakistan's T20 World Cup Boycott Against India Could U-Turn

  • Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan suggests Pakistan might reverse their decision to boycott the T20 World Cup 2026 match against India.
  • The match is scheduled for February 15 in Colombo, but Pakistan's government announced a boycott without providing a reason.
  • Pathan questioned Pakistan's ability to challenge India, citing India's dominance, including three wins in the 2025 Asia Cup.
  • The ICC has stated that "selective participation" undermines global sporting events and urged for a resolution.
  • BCCI Joint Secretary Prabhtej Singh Bhatia criticized Pakistan's decision as "against the sportsmanship" and expects ICC action.
