Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi has urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to help restore India–Pakistan bilateral cricket ties and address tensions as Islamabad considers boycotting its T20 World Cup 2026 match against India scheduled for February 15 in Colombo. Naqvi presented three conditions to the ICC delegation—higher revenue share, resumption of bilateral series, and adherence to cricketing etiquette like player handshakes after matches—to end Pakistan’s boycott call. The demand comes amid lingering fallout from the Asia Cup 2025 controversy, where India and Pakistan refused traditional handshakes, and broader political tensions. (PC: AP)
