Former International Cricket Council chairman Ehsan Mani has criticised Pakistan’s decision to boycott its T20 World Cup match against India. The Pakistan government has told its team not to play India in the T20 World Cup 2026. Mani said the move was driven by frustration and political involvement. He urged both sides to talk instead of taking drastic steps. Mani said early dialogue could have avoided the crisis. He added that only direct talks between top officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board and ICC can resolve the issue. (PC: AFP)
