Demand Rejected… Anyway, Let’s Play”
The International Cricket Council (ICC) rejected several major demands from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) during negotiations in February 2026 to end their proposed boycott of the T20 World Cup match against India.
Despite the rejection of key requests—specifically those involving bilateral series with India—the Pakistan government officially performed a "U-turn" on February 9, 2026, directing the national team to play the high-profile fixture scheduled for February 15 in Colombo.
