The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has reportedly rejected three key demands put forward by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) during ongoing discussions between the two bodies after Pakistan refused to play against India in their T20 World Cup 2026 fixture on February 15 in Colombo.

As per media reports, the PCB placed several demands before the ICC in an effort to push for a reconsideration of its decision to boycott the match against India.

Pakistan demanded a bilateral series with India, which the ICC rejected, stating that it does not fall under its jurisdiction, even within the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
