PCB informs ICC of decision not to play against India in T20 World Cup

February 7, 2026 by Pakistan Desk

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially written to the International Cricket Council (ICC) regarding its refusal to play against India in the February 15 league match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup, according to reports by Indian website Cricbuzz.

Indian media reports stated that Pakistan has communicated the specific reasons behind this decision to the ICC. Earlier, the Government of Pakistan had cleared the national team to participate in the tournament but explicitly prohibited them from facing India during the league stage.

Sources told Cricbuzz that the ICC has asked the PCB for clarifications under the Force Majeure clause in the Terms of Participation, seeking details on the steps Pakistan had taken to mitigate the claim.

The government in Islamabad has authorized the national side to play other matches but maintained its restriction on the marquee clash with India on February 15.

This situation follows Bangladesh’s decision to withdraw from playing in India, citing security concerns. As a result, Bangladesh was removed from Group C by the ICC and replaced by Scotland. Pakistan had supported Bangladesh’s request to relocate their matches to Sri Lanka.

“It’s sad Bangladesh is not here. They have a very good side. Hopefully, they will support us,” said Agha, referring to Pakistan’s hopes of regional solidarity.

Pakistan and India have not played bilateral cricket for over a decade, meeting only in multinational tournaments. In the group stage, Pakistan will now face Namibia, the Netherlands, and the United States.

January 27, 2026 by Pakistan Desk

MUMBAI: As the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup approaches, reports of Nipah virus cases have emerged in India, raising health concerns just weeks before the event. The tournament is scheduled to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8.

According to Indian media, at least five Nipah virus cases have been reported in West Bengal, prompting authorities to place approximately 100 individuals under quarantine as part of emergency medical measures.

The infected individuals include healthcare personnel, with two nurses from Kolkata reportedly in serious condition.

The outbreak comes at a time when international teams and large numbers of cricket fans are expected to arrive in India for the T20 World Cup.

Nipah virus is a highly dangerous zoonotic disease transmitted primarily by fruit bats. It can also spread through contaminated food and close contact with infected individuals. The virus is considered deadly, with reported fatality rates reaching up to 75 percent in some cases.

India’s Kerala state has previously reported dozens of deaths due to Nipah virus since 2018. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified Nipah virus as a “Priority Pathogen” due to its potential to cause a global outbreak.

Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have urged caution as the World Cup draws near.

December 11, 2025 by Pakistan Desk

Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan has introduced a significant change to his fitness regimen to stay healthier and maintain peak performance.

According to Indian media, the actor has improved his sleep routine—an essential component of physical recovery.

In a recent interview, Shah Rukh revealed that instead of his famously short 4-hour sleep, he now sleeps 5 to 6 hours a night. He said that longer sleep helps in better muscle recovery and ensures the heart never tires, allowing the body to keep functioning even when physically exhausted.

The actor added that while the body may occasionally feel fatigue, the heart remains strong—an attitude that keeps him motivated and consistently working.

Experts say that sleep is crucial for muscle repair and growth after exercise. The most effective muscle recovery occurs during deep sleep, with 7 to 9 hours of quality rest playing a vital role in maintaining overall health and fitness.

Indian media run false reports of Veteran Actor Dharmendra’s death

November 11, 2025 by Pakistan Desk

Several major Indian media outlets, including India Today, ABP News, News18 and Hindustan Times, aired reports on Tuesday morning claiming that legendary actor Dharmendra had passed away — a claim swiftly denied by his daughter Esha Deol.

Indian media reports had alleged that the actor’s team confirmed his death on the morning of November 11. Dharmendra had been admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital a day earlier and was reportedly on a ventilator, leading to widespread speculation.

Even prominent journalist Rajdeep Sardesai and actor–writer Javed Akhtar posted condolences on social media, further amplifying the misinformation.

However, Esha Deol later took to Instagram to refute the rumours, and now a statement from his wife, Hema Malini, has also emerged.

Expressing anger, Hema Malini condemned the false reports, stating: “What is happening is unacceptable! How can responsible channels spread fake news about someone who is undergoing treatment and recovering?”

What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and is recovering? This is being extremely disrespectful and irresponsible. Please give due respect to the family and its need for privacy.

She added, “This is disrespectful and irresponsible. Please give our family privacy.”
