5 Major losses PCB may suffer after T20 World Cup 2026 boycott

Under ICC rules, Pakistan's decision to boycott the India vs Pakistan match could lead to five serious consequences for the Pakistan Cricket Board.

1. Risk of Disqualification from T20 World Cup 2026

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.

2. Loss of Crucial ICC Funding

The PCB risks withholding of ICC revenue, which could worsen its financial crisis and affect player salaries and domestic cricket.

3. Heavy Financial Penalties and Broadcaster Claims

Canceling the high-value IND vs PAK clash may trigger huge compensation claims from broadcasters and sponsors.

4. Ban on Bilateral Series

A standoff with the ICC could reduce bilateral series opportunities, cutting off a major source of cricketing revenue.

5. Foreign Stars May Turn Away From PSL

Foreign players may skip the PSL if NOCs are denied, hurting the league’s appeal, sponsorships and broadcast value.
