Pakistan, like Bangladesh, is reluctant to take risks.
Details: According to the UNB website, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is seriously considering boycotting the 2026 T20 Cricket World Cup, which is set to take place in India.
Earlier, the Bangladesh national team announced their boycott of the T20 World Cup 2026 due to the political situation in India, and the International Cricket Council (ICC) decided to replace Bangladesh with Scotland.

It is reported that the Pakistan team is considering boycotting the tournament as a protest against the ICC's decision.
The chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Mohsin Naqvi, commented on the situation as follows:
"Double standards are unacceptable, where one country can make any decision at any time, but the opposite approach is taken for another country," Naqvi said.
At this moment, the PCB has not made a final decision.
