ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: Pakistan to boycott match against India
Pakistan will not play India in the T20 World Cup 2026. The Pakistan government has approved participation in the tournament but not the match against India. This decision could create issues with the ICC. India and Pakistan matches are very popular and generate significant revenue for cricket. This selective boycott might challenge tournament rules.
Pakistan will boycott its marquee clash against arch-rivals India in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, though it will participate in the rest of the tournament.

Budget 2026 Highlights: Here's the fine print
It is also likely to trigger a dispute between the ICC and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), particularly over tournament regulations and commercial commitments linked to the India-Pakistan match.
"The government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan grants approval to the Pakistan Cricket Team to participate in the ICC World T20 2026. However, the Pakistan Cricket Team shall not take the field in the match scheduled on 15 February 2026 against India," the Pakistan government posted on X.
India and Pakistan haven't played a full bilateral series since 2007, with their encounters restricted to ICC and Asian Cricket Council tournaments. Matches between the two sides are among the biggest revenue drivers for global cricket, attracting massive audiences and sponsorship interest. A selective boycott of a single fixture, while participating in the rest of the tournament, could test the ICC's competition framework, including provisions related to forfeits, points allocation, and commercial agreements.
Pakistan's move follows a standoff between the ICC and the Bangladesh Cricket Board, after the Bangladesh government refused to allow its team to travel to India for the tournament, citing security concerns.- Our Bureau
