The tone of the message on the mobile phone rang, I immediately picked it up and saw that it was written that “Pakistani government has stopped the cricket team from playing against India, until the Indian-sponsored terrorism in Balochistan and other places ends. Even cricketing-style relations will not be restored, the spokesman said.
After reading this I started to think that maybe this will isolate Pakistan in cricket, I also found out about a PCB meeting where the “lawyer” was threatening the top officials that if they do this then it will happen. It will happen but no one was ready to listen to them, after that ICC started pressurizing Pakistan to play a match against India in the Champions Trophy otherwise there will be so much loss. Do what the government told us to do Yes, the Indian board hesitated and said, “Well then, show me the letter that the government has written.”
All the matches of the Indian team were held in the UAE, everyone was waiting for the India-Pakistan match, but the Pakistani team did not go and gave a walkover, the ICC called an emergency meeting where they tried to dominate the PCB. The official reminded England, Australia, New Zealand and West Indies in a very good way that how they boycotted the World Cup matches for various reasons and gave a walkover to the opponent, now our government did not allow it, so how can it be done? Go against, someone Advised that Pakistan should be banned. In such a situation, the legal advisor said in the ear of an ICC official that we cannot do anything if the government stops it, the meeting ended and then the broadcaster started thinking of suing the ICC by justifying the huge financial loss. The boards also had to suffer from this, if the Indian team did not reach the final, there was also an opportunity to hold the match in Lahore.

Not to be outdone, the Pakistani cricket team won the trophy by defeating England after an interesting match, the ICC declared this match as its most watched match, the broadcaster also came to life, now People started threatening PCB that no one will come to PSL, everyone will watch IPL, there were real concerns and the lack of foreign stars was also felt, but the fields were still full, even on TV in large numbers. Fans watched the matches, PCB’s coffers were filled more, some new players also emerged, foreign teams including England, Australia and New Zealand continued to come to Pakistan, our cricket did not stop, the team and players have a prominent position in the ranking. get Well, when the T20 World Cup started in India in February, March 2026, the BCCI and ICC officials sat together that the first match between Pakistan and India in Ahmedabad will become a record for the attendance of fans.

Sponsorship and broadcasting will also earn the best money, this one match will cover the expenses of the entire tournament, then if both teams reach the final, then there will be more rumors, Pakistan banned from playing against India in the Champions Trophy. That will not happen now, but before the release of the schedule, the PCB again announced that the government is preventing us from going to India, we cannot do anything, BCCI strongly disagreed and said that sports and politics Should be kept separate, you Let us provide foolproof security. Pakistan did not agree and presented the government’s letter, the two teams were forced to hold the match in Sri Lanka, later the final was held between the traditional rivals, India had held the match in Mumbai, but if Pakistan qualified, Colombo was the option. Indian fans were upset not to see their team in action in such a big match on the ground.

They protested against their board, but the match was held in Sri Lanka, even after that, cricket continued to play in Pakistan, the accounts showed a large profit, many new cricketers made a place in the team with excellent performance, Pakistan continued to play cricket. continued to be considered as one of the major forces, the passion for sports in the country did not decrease, PCB also focused on making PSL a big brand, the income increased with the addition of two new teams, not playing against India. No harm to Pakistan It happened, the development of national cricket had not stopped due to being alone for a long time, now only the ties with one team had ended. Dad, wake up, don’t we have to leave school and I woke up from sleep, oh it was all a dream, I started thinking, but if it happens in reality that Pakistan takes a stand and refuses to play against India, then God forbid our cricket. Will die or flourish Will let me know what you think.
