Pakistan's potential boycott of the India match in the T20 World Cup is gaining attention due to the significant impact it could have. While Pakistan has not formally communicated with the ICC, solidarity with Bangladesh—who were dropped from the tournament—appears to be a motive. However, financial concerns in Bangladesh are rising as the absence of the India-Pakistan game would reduce ICC revenues distributed among member nations, affecting Bangladesh's finances. Officials suggest Pakistan intends to send a message to Indian cricket, but given financial dependencies on ICC revenue, such a boycott could harm both Pakistan and Bangladesh in the long term.
