T20 World Cup 2026: Pakistan Threatens India Match Boycott Over Bangladesh Dispute

• Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly considering boycotting its T20 World Cup 2026 match against India scheduled for February 15 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
• The potential boycott is a protest against the ICC's decision to exclude Bangladesh from the tournament after they refused to send their team to India citing security concerns.
• Bangladesh had requested their matches be moved from India to Sri Lanka, which the ICC rejected, leading to Scotland replacing them.
• Pakistan supports Bangladesh's demand and had previously threatened to withdraw from the T20 World Cup in solidarity.
• A boycott would result in a loss of two points for Pakistan but could cause significant financial losses for the ICC.
