India-Pak Dispute Ignites! What is BCCI-ICC's Role on the Match?
After Pakistan decided not to play the match against India in the 2026 T-20 World Cup, the BCCI has supported the role of the International Cricket Council on this issue. BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla said that the Indian board will not give any official response until discussions with the ICC take place.
The Pakistan government has announced that the team will not participate in the match against India on February 15. However, it has also clarified that Pakistan will play all other matches in the tournament.
The ICC expressed dissatisfaction with this decision, stating that playing selected matches does not align with the principles of international competition.
