The verdict by the ICC denying the plea by Bangladesh has received mixed reactions throughout the cricketing fraternity, with Pakistan stating that they are disappointed but will nonetheless abide by the T20 World Cup. The ICC declines Bangladesh’s request to change their matches in India to Sri Lanka on the grounds of scheduling and logistics. Though Pakistan backed Bangladesh as a matter of principle, its officials have made it clear that it cannot withdraw from the tournament. As ICC rejects Bangladesh plea, the joint World Cup arrangement is intact, and Pakistan will definitely keep playing without the objection of unfairness and inconsistency in making decisions.
Stand of Pakistan After the ICC Decision
After the point when the ICC denied Bangladesh’s request, the sources in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) admitted frustration but denied the possibility of boycotting it. The ICC denies Bangladesh’s plea despite the like security-based pleas having been made and granted in other cases, which Pakistan feels are inequitable. Nevertheless, PCB officials acknowledge that the withdrawal has no substantial basis on the fact that Pakistan’s matches have already been fixed in a neutral venue. Kamran Akmal, the former cricketer, also contributed when theICC rejects Bangladesh plea by saying that this is the expected result, and all the member nations should be treated equally.
