Chances of India-Pakistan game going ahead brighten as Bangladesh ask PCB to end boycott threat
In light of the latest developments, prospects of the money-spinning fixture going ahead as scheduled brightened. Bangladesh, which had a role in the origin of the impasse when it refused to send its team to India citing security concerns, requested the PCB — which had shown solidarity with Bangladesh for their ouster from the tournament — to play the February 15 match “for the benefit of the entire cricket ecosystem”. “Following my short visit to Pakistan yesterday (Sunday) and given the forthcoming outcomes of our discussions, I request Pakistan to play the ICC T20 World Cup game on 15 February against India for the benefit of the entire cricket ecosystem,” BCB president Aminul Islam said. “We are deeply moved by Pakistan’s efforts to go above and beyond in supporting Bangladesh during this period. Long may our brotherhood flourish,” the former Bangladesh captain added.
