The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Sunday that Pakistan's decision to selectively participate in the upcoming Men's T20 World Cup 2026 and boycott its Group A clash against India undermines the integrity of global cricket and could have long-term consequences for the sport in the country.
The governing body issued a statement after a post by Pakistan's government on X said it had granted permission to the Pakistan team to travel to Sri Lanka for the tournament, but that not take the field in the match against India to be played on February 15 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, without specifying a reason for the same.
The ICC also said it was still awaiting official communication from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on this. “The ICC notes the statement that the government of Pakistan has made regarding the decision to instruct its national team to selectively participate in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.
