The drama between Pakistan and Bangladesh is not going to end before the T20 World Cup 2026. According to reports, Pakistan Cricket Board is now talking about boycotting the match against India. On January 26, PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi met the Pakistani PM and the issue of boycotting the match against India was also raised there. Now a decision on this issue will be taken by Friday. However, now news is coming that if Pakistan team boycotts this match, then it will be thrown out of the T20 World Cup and in its place Bangladesh will be included in the tournament again.
Will Bangladesh play in place of Pakistan in T20 World Cup?
According to the report of Hindustan Times, after the strange behavior of Pakistan in ICC, there is a discussion that Bangladesh will be re-inducted into Group A by removing this team. According to the report, ‘If Pakistan decides to withdraw from the tournament, Bangladesh will be placed in their place in Group A. Also, Bangladesh will be given a chance to play all the matches in Sri Lanka only. Let us tell you that Bangladesh has been thrown out of the T20 World Cup because at the last moment it wanted to play all its matches in Sri Lanka instead of India. ICC conducted voting on this issue and Bangladesh suffered a crushing defeat. Since Bangladesh’s exclusion, Pakistan has been doing its own politics but ICC has made complete arrangements for that too.
If Pakistan boycotted India’s match…
Let us tell you that Pakistan is planning to boycott only the match against India which is to be played on 15th February. However, according to the report of Cricbuzz, it is difficult for this to happen because Pakistan will have to face serious consequences. Many sanctions may be imposed on Pakistan team. This will be considered a violation of the agreement that Pakistan has made with the ICC. Pakistan can also be suspended from tournaments like World Cup and Asia Cup.
