Pakistan Boycotts IND-PAK T20 World Cup 2026 Clash; Netizens React to 'Mohsin Naqvi, Pro Ragebaiter'

  • Pakistan will boycott their T20 World Cup 2026 group stage match against India, scheduled for February 15 in Colombo, despite being cleared to participate in the tournament.
  • The decision has sparked widespread outrage and accusations of hypocrisy on social media, especially as an India vs Pakistan Under-19 World Cup match was simultaneously underway.
  • Netizens have labeled PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi a 'pro ragebaiter' and accused Pakistan of 'ducking India' and engaging in political posturing.
  • The boycott could lead to significant financial losses for the ICC, estimated between 200-300 million USD, due to the absence of the highly anticipated fixture.
  • This standoff follows earlier tensions where Mohsin Naqvi criticized the ICC for replacing Bangladesh with Scotland, accusing the body of double standards favoring India.
