Pakistan’s drama continues before the T20 World Cup 2026. Pakistan has decided not to play in the T20 World Cup match against India on February 15. This match was to be played in Colombo. This has exposed the dual character of Pakistan. Fearing the neighboring country, India, they stopped their men’s team from playing, but their women’s team is ready to beat the Indian women’s team on the same day. Yes, there are two matches to be held between India and Pakistan on 15th February. These two matches are to be played in T20 World Cup and Women’s Rising Star Asia Cup T20. Naqvi and Pakistan government fear defeat by India. Men’s T20 World Cup is going to start on February 7. This tournament, to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, will be played between 20 teams, which are divided into four groups. This will be the 10th edition of this tournament. A total of 55 matches including semi-finals and finals will be played. The teams of India and Pakistan were to face each other in this tournament on February 15, but the Pakistan government issued a release saying that their team will not face India in the T20 World Cup. This match is to be played at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. However, no one knows the reason for this decision. Pakistan had earlier threatened to boycott the entire tournament in support of Bangladesh, but did not do so due to fear of economic risks. Now he took a new trick and announced boycott of the match against India. However, ICC’s warning is clear that if they boycott the match, they may suffer huge losses. He will compensate for the loss due to this match not happening from the PCB’s pocket only. They may also have to face many other restrictions. Now Pakistan is caught in a big trap as to what it should do to show its support towards Bangladesh. There is a pit on one side and a ditch on the other side. It is being said that PCB is in talks with ICC. In such a situation, we will not be surprised if Pakistan suddenly withdraws its decision and comes on the field.
Second match in Women’s Rising Stars Asia Cup T20
Whereas, the second match will be played in the Rising Stars Women’s Asia Cup T20. The men’s Rising Stars tournament has been held before, but the women’s edition will be taking place for the first time. Its schedule was announced a few days ago. The Rising Stars Women’s Asia Cup will be played in T20 format in February itself. India A team participates in men’s and the same will happen in women’s also. Indian Women’s A team will participate in it. Some senior star women players can be seen playing in this. The Rising Stars Women’s Asia Cup T20 tournament will be played in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. In this tournament, the women’s team of India-A and Pakistan-A will also come face to face on 15th February. Talking about match timing, this match is to be played before the India-Pakistan match in T20 World Cup (Men). The match between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup was to start on February 15 at 7 pm, while the match between India-A and Pakistan-A in the Rising Stars Women’s Asia Cup T20 will be played on February 15 at 12:30 pm Indian time. After withdrawing its name fearing the Indian men, Pakistan is ready to beat India in the women’s category. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the squad for the Women’s A team on February 1. According to the report of ESPN Cricinfo, Pakistan Women’s A team has not yet received any official instructions regarding the future of this match against India A. The report also said that the team’s tournament preparations are currently continuing normally and no changes have been informed to the players. The responsibility of hosting and organizing this match rests with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). Interestingly, both ACC and PCB are headed by the same person, ‘trophy thief’ Mohsin Naqvi. Naqvi is not only influential in cricket administration, but he is also considered a powerful minister in the Pakistani government. There is a strong discussion in the cricket circles that Mohsin Naqvi has played an important role in the decision to boycott the T20 World Cup match against India. However, till now no official statement has come from PCB or ACC on this issue. At present the situation is that on one hand the PCB has confirmed the group and match schedule with India in the women’s category, while on the other hand there is uncertainty whether the men’s match will take place or not.
