Pakistan is considering skipping its group-stage match against India at the T20 World Cup 2026 after a dispute with the International Cricket Council. According to a report by Pakistan’s Geo News, the Pakistan Cricket Board is weighing options to protest the ICC’s refusal to move Bangladesh’s matches away from India. One option includes forfeiting the February 15 match in Colombo, while another is withdrawing from the tournament. The ICC has warned that a withdrawal could cause major financial losses and long-term damage to Pakistan cricket. PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi said a final decision will be taken after consultations with the Pakistan government. Bangladesh has withdrawn and was replaced by Scotland. (PC: India Today)
