00:00Pakistan is the boycott of India's game, it's not just a cricketing affair, this is the failure of a cricket ecosystem.
00:08Why are the governments getting involved in cricket? Why are we mixing politics and cricket?
00:15The statement of the Pakistan government came from X after ICC has raised some strong objections.
00:21In a statement released by the apex body of Indian cricket, ICC has taken note of all that the Pakistan government has said.
00:28And they said that Pakistan might be risking some long term implications.
00:33Indirectly, ICC said that if you don't participate, you will do selective participation with India, you will give solidarity with Bangladesh,
00:42then you could face some sanctions. Some of the possible sanctions include getting excluded from the Asia Cup,
00:49not getting NOCs off the overseas players and foreign players in the Pakistan Super League,
00:55losing the hosting rights of the 2028 Women's T20 World Cup.
01:00There is a partnership agreement between ICC and PCB,
01:04and most importantly, ICC T20 World Cup participation fee.
01:11The question is that we are back in the 1970s now.
01:16You remember that South Africa were denied playing in international cricket during the Apartheid era,
01:21and I think that we are dating back to the 20th century again.
01:25Because we are mixing cricket with politics, and this could have a long term impact.
01:29Like in the comment section, do you think Pakistan did the right thing,
01:33or do you think there will be a U-turn of events in the coming days?
01:37In the coming days.
01:38In the coming days.
