Pakistan will forfeit two points if they don’t take the field for the game in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Pakistan’s cricket team has announced it will not participate in the T20 World Cup match against India on February 15, 2026, a decision supported by the government. The ICC criticized this selective participation, stating it undermines the spirit of the competition. Pakistan’s matches are scheduled in Sri Lanka due to strained relations with India, and missing the match could have significant financial repercussions. This decision comes amid broader concerns over the treatment of nations within cricket’s governance.
