Pakistan have dismissed reports suggesting they may boycott the T20 World Cup in support of Bangladesh. A source close to the Pakistan Cricket Board said there is no plan to withdraw, even if Bangladesh pull out. The source said Pakistan have no grounds to do so as all their matches are scheduled in Sri Lanka under an earlier agreement. Bangladesh are in dispute with the International Cricket Council over security concerns for matches in India. The Bangladesh Cricket Board has sought changes, but the ICC has asked for a final decision by January 21. (PC: HT)
