In the end of the video that I had also made about the boycott, I had said exactly this, that there will be a match between India and Pakistan. There is no chance that Pakistan will not play this match. And the confirmation of this came late last night. A tweet came from the Pakistan government's handle that permission has been granted to their players. Now this video is about facts, which I have tried to verify from my sources. A detailed video about the implications of all these things is on my YouTube channel. But the first news was that in the meeting held between the ICC, PCB, and BCB, it was said that Indian players will have to shake hands with Pakistani players. Nothing like that happened. Second, that India and Pakistan will have to immediately start their bilateral ties. Nothing like that happened. Pakistan should play India in the World Test Championship cycle. Nothing like that happened. The demands that were put forth were that no sanctions should be imposed on BCB. To which the ICC, we were not imposing any sanctions anyway. We had made every effort to convince Bangladesh. We got an independent security assessment done for them again. But the loss of broadcast rights, they would have adjusted it. They were not going to penalize them. Second, that Bangladesh should be given a World event to host. The 2024 T20 World Cup, due to civil unrest, was taken to the UAE, in which the ICC said that two women's events are available from 2028 to 31. If Bangladesh's presentation is good and the ICC board approves, then it will be granted to them. As per protocol. Third, if ever the governments of India and Pakistan say that the relationship is better and let's play. Can Bangladesh be made a third team? To which the ICC has nothing to do with this. First of all, it is the decision of the governments, and after that, it is the decision of the boards. Now, credit to the ICC, that in their first official information and communication, they had written that they are open to dialogue. Dialogue happened. Now, in such a dilemma, if one person is aggressive and is thinking short-term. The job of the ICC is to ensure the global health and future of cricket. And they have handled that entire situation very tactfully. Now, whether Pakistan wanted to impress Bangladesh or whatever they did, eventually at the end. On the 15th, they are going to be on the ground.
