Pakistan threatens India T20 WC match boycott: How it may allow Bangladesh's re-entry and a complete ban on PCB?

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially entered a state of high-stakes tension with the International Cricket Council (ICC), threatening to pull out of the T20 World Cup 2026. This move comes as a direct protest against the ICC's decision to replace Bangladesh with Scotland after the "Tigers" refused to play their fixtures in India. According to media reports, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on January 26 to discuss the board’s stance. While a squad has been announced, Naqvi clarified that the final, binding decision rests with the federal government.
