News India Live, Digital Desk: Pakistan’s decision to boycott against India in the T20 World Cup 2026 has not only given sleepless nights to the ICC, but now Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Mohsin has also become very angry with Naqvi and PCB. Sri Lanka’s anger has increased so much that it has decided to officially raise the matter with the ICC and demand ‘damages’.
The real reason for the displeasure of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC)
Although the dispute is between India and Pakistan, Sri Lanka is suffering the biggest economic and administrative loss. The main reasons for SLC’s displeasure are:
Huge economic loss: The match between India and Pakistan is to be held on 15 February in Colombo (Sri Lanka). Almost all the hotels in Colombo were booked months in advance for this match. Now, due to the news of Pakistan not playing, bookings are being cancelled, which is causing a blow worth crores to Sri Lanka’s tourism and economy.
Preparations ruined: As hosts, SLC has invested heavily in security and logistics for this ‘high-voltage’ match. All these preparations are going in vain due to Pakistan’s sudden retreat.
Crack in Asian Unity: SLC believes that Mohsin Naqvi, being the Chairman of ‘Asian Cricket Council (ACC)’, has chosen the path of boycott only for political gains instead of protecting the interests of Asian countries.
Mohsin Naqvi accused of ‘blackmailing’
According to the latest reports, Sri Lanka Cricket officials believe that Mohsin Naqvi is trying to ‘blackmail’ the entire world by taking the help of Bangladesh issue.
What is the matter? Pakistan had played a boycott tactic in support of Bangladesh, but when ICC included Scotland instead of Bangladesh, Pakistan’s argument became weak.
SLC’s stand: Sri Lanka says that if Pakistan was not to play, they should have informed much earlier and not just before the tournament started.
ICC’s ‘strict’ warning
Following Sri Lanka’s complaint, the ICC has made it clear to Pakistan that if they do not take the field on February 15, then:
Compensation for financial loss suffered by Sri Lanka Cricket Board Pakistan’s revenue share Will be done from.
Pakistan may also be banned from playing the Asian Cup and other bilateral series.
What will happen on 12th February?
now everyone’s eyes are on 12 February Resting on. Experts believe that due to increasing pressure from Sri Lanka and other Asian countries (Malaysia, Indonesia), Mohsin Naqvi may have to give up his stubbornness. If Pakistan plays the match, it will be a big relief for Sri Lanka’s economy and fans.
