Following a stern warning from Icc, Pakistan’s stance softened and will play ind vs pakistan

7 Reasons Pakistan Softened Its Stance After ICC’s Stern Warning – Big Signal, Bigger Impact on Cricket ind vs pakistan

It seems the ICC is batting in full form. After removing Bangladesh from the upcoming T20 World Cup for their insistence on not playing in India, it has now issued a stern warning to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The ICC has stated that if the PCB boycotts the World Cup, it will be completely banned from international cricket. This warning from the ICC not only softened the PCB’s stance but also prompted them to immediately announce their 15-member squad for the World Cup. And the most ever match between ind vs pakistan once again in this tournament which all cricket fans are crazy about this.

Icc said… these consequences will have to be faced.

Watching the high-octane match between Ind vs Pakistan is nothing short of an adventure. The PCB will have to face these consequences if they don’t play:

1. If Pakistan withdraws from the World Cup, it will be completely isolated from international cricket. No country will play bilateral series with them.
2. No foreign player will be given an NOC to play in the PSL, the T20 league held in Pakistan.
3. The Pakistan Cricket Board receives 366 crore rupees annually from the ICC as revenue. This would be stopped.

The Pakistan Cricket Board had opposed excluding Bangladesh from the T20 World Cup, and the PCB chairman had said they could boycott the tournament.

The T20 World Cup will be played from February 7th, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The match between Ind vs Pakistan is expected to break all viewership records. The ICC has excluded Bangladesh from the tournament and given Scotland their place. The PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) strongly protested this decision and even threatened a boycott, but after receiving a stern warning from the ICC, they backed down and announced their team.

Pakistan has never beaten India in the T20 World Cup.

In all the T20 matches played between India and Pakistan so far, India has had a one-sided victory; Pakistan has never been able to defeat India. Pakistani fans go to the stadium every time to cheer on their team, but their team loses every time, and the viewers watching at home end up smashing their TVs in frustration.

Rizwan and Rauf have been dropped from Pakistan’s T20 squad.

Shortly after the ICC’s warning, the Pakistan Cricket Board immediately announced a 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup to be held next month. Salman Ali Agha has been appointed captain of the team. Experienced wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan and fast bowler Haris Rauf have not been included in the squad, which could be due to the defeat in the Asia Cup. Meanwhile, Babar Azam and Naseem Shah have returned to the team.
