Under ICC rules, Pakistan's decision to boycott the India vs Pakistan match could lead to five serious consequences for the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Boycotting the IND vs PAK match violates ICC participation rules and could lead to Pakistan’s disqualification or early elimination from the T20 World Cup 2026.
The PCB risks withholding of ICC revenue, which could worsen its financial crisis and affect player salaries and domestic cricket.
Canceling the high-value IND vs PAK clash may trigger huge compensation claims from broadcasters and sponsors.
A standoff with the ICC could reduce bilateral series opportunities, cutting off a major source of cricketing revenue.
Foreign players may skip the PSL if NOCs are denied, hurting the league’s appeal, sponsorships and broadcast value.
