Pakistan's willingness to boycott India matches in World Cup questioned amid semi-final and final scenarios

The Pakistan government has committed to boycotting the February 15th match on the grounds of justice and equality. However, questions arise about whether Pakistan would maintain this stance if they face India in the semi-final or final of the tournament. Former players and commentators, including Kevin Pieterson, have expressed doubts about Pakistan's resolve to avoid playing India in crucial knockout matches, highlighting contradictions in their current approach. The symbolic boycott of a league game contrasts with potential future decisions in later stages of the World Cup.
