PCB evaluating political and financial implications as deadline approaches; verdict expected by early next week
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is carefully deliberating whether to boycott their February 15 T20 World Cup Group A clash against India, despite potential legal consequences. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi held comprehensive discussions with the Prime Minister on Monday, exploring all available options before making this critical decision.
Sources reveal Naqvi is currently in the United Arab Emirates with President Zardari, seeking high-level political guidance. He also plans to consult former PCB chairmen in the coming days. A final government decision is anticipated either Friday or early next week.
Initially, discussions centered on boycotting the entire T20 World Cup, but considerations have now narrowed to potentially forfeiting only the India fixture. The PCB is thoroughly assessing the political, legal, and financial ramifications of such action, recognizing the far-reaching consequences beyond the tournament itself.
