Rajkumar Sharma told ANI, “This is very unfortunate, and it is a strange decision by Pakistan. They had not given any reaction till now; earlier, they had voted in favor of Bangladesh not going to India for the 2026 T20 World Cup, and now they have decided to withdraw from playing against India. This is very unfortunate, and because of this, Pakistan will have to suffer huge losses. It is also a loss for the people of Pakistan, who want to see their players play against India. It is a loss for their players also. I think Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will think again on this decision.

When it comes to cricket, India is far ahead of Pakistan in terms of competition. However, this is a political decision, and they should consider ICC’s action in response to this decision as PCB will suffer huge losses. I believe they will rethink their decision.” The Pakistan government did not give any reason for its decision of not playing against India. But it is clear that they have taken this decision to support Bangladesh. Let us tell you, Bangladesh had refused to play the T20 World Cup in India citing security reasons. Due to which the ICC has excluded them and given a place in the tournament to Scotland.
