New Delhi. Pakistan’s stand regarding the decision of not playing the match against India under the T20 World Cup 2026 is clear. According to media reports, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not planning to approach the International Cricket Council (ICC) in writing to give official information about this decision.

Information has come to light quoting sources that this decision has been taken by the Government of Pakistan, due to which it was made public on a government platform. As a result, the PCB does not feel the need to write a separate letter to the ICC. Recently, the Pakistan government had allowed its team to participate in the tournament, but they have decided not to play the match against India.

The Pakistan Cricket Board is in no hurry to clarify its position on this issue. They are considering further strategies and keeping options open. Additionally, the ICC has already clarified that such selective participation may violate tournament rules and the spirit of the game, which may lead to serious consequences.

Experts believe that if there is no competition between India and Pakistan, it could cause huge economic loss to the broadcasting and sponsorship sectors. This match is usually the match that attracts the most spectators in ICC tournaments, whose absence could affect the economic outlook.
