Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reiterated the country’s decision to boycott its T20 World Cup match against India, saying the country has taken a “clear stand” for the February 15 match in Sri Lanka, reported Dawn.
“We have taken a clear stand regarding the T20 World Cup that we will not play the match against India,” Pakistan PM said while addressing the federal cabinet in Islamabad.
Shehbaz Sharif added that they have decided to boycott the India match after careful assessment and called for an appropriate decision.
“There should be no politics in sports,” he said. “We have taken this stand after deliberating on it carefully,” he said, calling it an “appropriate decision”.
Pakistan decided to boycott its group-stage match against India in the T20 World Cup after the Pakistan government posted on X that the Pakistan Team “shall not take the field” in the match against India without providing any reason.
