The International Cricket Council (ICC) is set to hold a board meeting today, following Pakistan’s decision to boycott the match against India in the upcoming T20 World Cup. According to reports from the Indian media, the ICC is expected to take a decision on whether to allow Pakistan to participate in the tournament, considering the potential consequences of their boycott.
The Indian media has reported that the ICC is likely to impose penalties on Pakistan, including possible fines and suspensions, if they fail to participate in the tournament. The reports also suggest that the ICC may impose restrictions on Pakistan’s participation in future tournaments, including the possibility of banning them from playing against top-ranked teams.
The ICC has stated that they are expecting Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to provide a formal decision on the matter. The PCB has already announced that they will not participate in the match against India, citing concerns over the Indian government’s actions in Kashmir.
The decision has sparked controversy in the cricket world, with many experts and former players weighing in on the issue. Former Indian captain Kapil Dev has said that such decisions are made by the government and the cricket board, and that they should respect the decision.
The T20 World Cup is set to begin on February 7, and Pakistan’s participation is still uncertain. The team is currently training in Sri Lanka, and the PCB is expected to make a final decision on their participation soon.
In other news, the Sri Lankan cricket board has written a letter to the PCB, expressing concerns over the boycott and its impact on their tourism sector. The letter states that the boycott has caused a significant loss of business for the tourism industry, with many fans canceling their hotel bookings.
The Pakistani cricket team is also facing internal issues, with many players expressing concerns over the team’s fitness and preparation. The team’s captain, Salman Ali Agha, has said that the team is focused on their preparation and is not under any pressure to perform.
