Recently, Bangladesh Cricket Board had announced that Bangladesh team will not go to India to play T20 World Cup. The Pakistan team had already said not to go to India, due to which its matches were kept in Sri Lanka. Now there is talk that Pakistani Cricket Board (PCB) has stopped the preparations for the World Cup. According to Pakistani media, Pakistan’s plan is that if Bangladesh is not listened to, then Pakistan will not participate in this tournament. On the other hand, Bangladesh has demanded from the International Cricket Council (ICC) that like Pakistan, its matches should also be shifted out of India. Pakistan is also preparing that if ICC wants, it can host Bangladesh’s matches.

According to Pakistan’s Geo News, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has stopped the preparations for the World Cup and there is full preparation that the Pakistan team will also boycott the World Cup in support of Bangladesh. The main reason for this is that ICC has till now told Bangladesh that separate arrangements cannot be made for it now and it will have to play in India only. Let us tell you that the World Cup is to be played in India and Sri Lanka from 7 February to 8 March.
