LAHORE: Pakistan is likely to boycott the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 if Bangladesh decides against participation in the event over the issue of its stance of not travelling to India due to security concerns, sources told Geo News on Thursday.
The sources, on Thursday, said that Pakistan may boycott the event if the International Cricket Council (ICC) refuses to accept Dhaka’s demand to shift their matches in the next month’s event.
Bangladesh have refused to play their matches in India, citing safety concerns following soured political relations between the neighbours, and demanded to play them in Sri Lanka, which is co-hosting the tournament, instead.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
