Pakistan Threatens Boycott of India Match, T20 World Cup Over ICC Decision

• Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering boycotting its T20 World Cup match against India on February 15, or even withdrawing from the tournament.
• This potential boycott is a protest against the ICC's decision to reject Bangladesh's request to play its World Cup matches in Sri Lanka instead of India.
• Bangladesh boycotted the T20 World Cup after their request was denied, leading to Scotland replacing them in the tournament.
• PCB head Mohsin Naqvi accused the ICC of hypocrisy and stated that the decision on participation will be made after consulting with the Prime Minister.
• If Pakistan boycotts the match, India will get two points; a full tournament withdrawal would lead to financial losses and ICC action.
