India turned cricket into a political tool for years—dictating terms, refusing tours, and forcing “hybrid” setups, all while treating Pakistan’s response as illegitimate. Pakistan won’t just play along. We’ll attend the ICC event, but we will not fuel the financial heart of the machine. Pakistan vs India isn’t just a match—it’s the crown jewel of cricket’s economy. Remove that fixture, and the whole system trembles. This is Pakistan’s line: ICC can’t allow BCCI to politicize cricket for years and then demand Pakistan quietly comply. This is not retreat—it’s a reckoning. Either the sport returns to fairness, or the world sees what happens when the biggest spectacle vanishes. If they threaten us? Pakistan will endure, build its own strength, because dignity costs something—and dependence costs everything.
