Pakistani prime minister

The Pakistani Prime Minister: Former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif weighed in on the ongoing T20 World Cup permutations after Pakistan secured a close victory over the Netherlands in their tournament opener and said that India’s result against the USA could significantly impact Pakistan’s qualification scenario.

Pakistan will not play India in their scheduled Men’s T20 World Cup match in Colombo on February 15, after their government approved the Men in Green's participation in the World Cup on the condition that they will not play the match against India.

On the tournament permutations, Latif said, “We have seen how conditions have affected two or three teams already. If India lose their next match, it could make things difficult for Pakistan in terms of qualification. However, if Pakistan win their next three matches, there is a strong chance they will qualify.”
