Pakistan may pull out of World Twenty20: reports

Pakistan cricket team may not play in the upcoming ICC World T20 if their government refuses security clearance to the team that is scheduled to travel to India for the tournament, according to a report in The Hindustan Times.

Another team might replace Pakistan at World T20 that begins on March 8, an Indian cricket administrator who attended an ICC meeting in Dubai last week told the newspaper on Tuesday.



"At the ICC board meeting, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan did inform that his side's participation in the event was subject to government clearance. There was no further discussion as far as I remember," the official told the HT.

Earlier, PCB chairman Shahryar Khan had hinted that the decision to play Pakistan's World T20 matches at Indian venues will only be taken after consulting with the government.


"We have told the ICC the decision is with the government and it's not just us who have to decide," Khan told reporters at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Tuesday.

"We didn't say or propose playing the World T20 matches at neutral venue but someone at the ICC meeting said that if there are concerns over any extremist activity [at Pakistan matches] then neutral venues will be looked into," he told Pakistani media.

"Since it's an ICC event and not a bilateral series we have to play it but if the decision [by the government] is negative then maybe the ICC could say that our matches be held in neutral venues in Sri Lanka or United Arab Emirates, and we will be ready for that."

ICC allowed Pakistan two more days to name their squad after PCB sent a request on Monday. Pakistan can name its players by February 10.

Pakistan are scheduled play their league matches in World T20 in Kolkata, Dharamsala and Mohali. The semifinals are to be played in Mumbai and Delhi but if Pakistan finish among the last four, Delhi would host the game. The final will be played in Kolkata at Eden Gardens.

There are elements in India who will want to attack the Pakistan cricket team to stop the peace process. PCB should send its own security team.
When India had problem to play with Pakistan even in neutral venue dubai then i dont see any reason why Pakistan should visit India who has extremist anti Pakistan element in there

If it was Asia cup or something else Pakistan would have refused, but its worldcup.
But Pakistan should procure its own security as you can't trust hinduvita thugs

I know its world cup but nothing is more important than your honour and dignity..Jidar izzat na milhey udar jana nhi chaya..

After so much drama if pakistan still comes to india to play, it will look very bad on their character.
Tum loghoon na kum nakhrey kia they when you were deciding the fate of indo pak series

It was all indian drama, PCB was ready to play.
And what happened to the character of whole india, when modi use to say that we will isolate pakistan and will only talk on terror and then came unannouced and uninvited to Pakistan.

I think it makes sense to me...if Pakistan declines to come to play in India...Then who is in reserve team now in ICC T2O league?...Is Ireland, Afganistan are all included ? Otherwise, they should be included too...

there are about 400 Pakistani Athletes in India as we speak now, if those elements want to ruin the peace process they've better chance now and a chance to ruin Pakistan coming to India for T20 or Asian cup. the thing here is not security but Pakistan mixing Politics with sports for their own gains

yep they'll there... another team might be Kenya, Namibia and UAE as they're not playing this world cup

When one is concerned about security of their national teams they dont send the teams at all,atleast Pakistan should know that after so many years of countries refusing to play in pakistan due to security.Pakistan should do the same
Security is of no use as PMs have been killed inspite of the security,Pakistan should not send its team at all.

Why Pakistan should decline an opportunity to highlight the growing extremism in enemy country. I would suggest go there and play wholeheartedly and if those extremist bigots make a scene of it, then let the world know what really is shining in the supa powa. Otherwise lets play and try to win no need to get too emotional and hurt ourselves, which would serve the enemy not us.

If India does not want to play Pakistan for any reason, Pakistan should refuse to play - ICC or bilateral event.

Perfect reason to as indian always come up with... PCB realize after so many years of indian game plane terrorist PM is a threat to Pakistani cricket team.
