Pakistan’s cricket board is weighing its options after the International Cricket Council (ICC) excluded Bangladesh from the T20 World Cup. According to sources, the board will keep its options open even if Pakistan participates in the tournament. The board may consider boycotting India’s match on February 15 in Colombo, which could result in a 2-point deduction for Pakistan. The ICC is expected to suffer significant financial losses if Pakistan does not play against India.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced its national team for the T20 World Cup, but the million-dollar question remains. The board has the option to not play against India, while Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to meet PCB Chairman Rameez Raja to discuss whether Pakistan should participate in the tournament. The board has also sought the advice of Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on the matter.
The federal minister for information, Marriyum Aurangzeb, said that the consultation process is ongoing, and any decision will be made public. The focus in the camp is on the fitness of women players, and the team includes more young players to prepare for the World Cup.
Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, praised the board’s decision to support Bangladesh in solidarity. He said that Pakistan has been following India in sports for a long time and that India realizes that not playing cricket can hurt Pakistan. Former English cricketer Mark Boucher has said that the Pakistan-India match is the most profitable match in the world of cricket, and the ICC must ensure that both countries are in the same group.
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Karachi Kings has announced the retained players for the 11th edition.

The two countries have agreed to establish an inter-regional forum.
