There are question marks over whether the match between India and Pakistan will take place in the 2026 T20 World Cup. However, the Pakistan government has said that its national team will not play the match with Team India on 15 February. Pakistan has described it as a matter related to extraordinary circumstances. This dispute has taken a new turn as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has formally demanded talks with the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Pakistan wrote a letter to ICC calling it a matter related to extraordinary circumstances and also linked its government’s tweet to this. But in response to this, ICC has said that in case of not playing the match with India, Pakistan may have to face many types of sanctions and legal action can also be taken. ICC has also sought clarity on what extraordinary circumstances the PCB is citing.
