Pakistan to Wear Black Armbands Against India in T20 WC in Support of Bangladesh

  • Pakistan's government approved the national team's participation in the T20 World Cup match against India in Colombo.
  • PCB chairman Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi met with PM Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif to discuss the team's involvement and the Bangladesh Cricket Board situation.
  • Despite approval, reports suggest Pakistan might protest by wearing black armbands or issuing a statement in support of Bangladesh.
  • Bangladesh was replaced by Scotland in the T20 World Cup schedule after refusing to travel to India due to security concerns.
  • Pakistan is the only board among top associations to support BCB's request for a venue change, which was rejected by ICC.

Why It Matters: Pakistan will play India in the T20 World Cup but plans a protest in solidarity with Bangladesh.
