Pakistan won’t be playing India in the T20 World Cup and X is shaking with laughter

Pakistan won’t be playing India in the T20 World Cup and X is shaking with laughter

The memes are pouring in as Pakistanis do what they do best — roast their neighbours.
Updated 02 Feb, 2026

Pakistan announced Sunday night that it would not be playing its match against India in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup and X is in shaking — with laughter, of course.

There were people giggling over the news, especially in light of Pakistan asking India to shift their matches to Sri Lanka.

While others were shooting their shot at refusing future matches with their own rivals.

Most Pakistanis were having a ball.

And, of course, roasting Indian reactions to the news.

Many felt for the Indian team that would be getting ready for a match they know would be forfeited.

But they also felt Pakistan’s announcement could have been timed a little better.

On a more serious note, people were pleased with Pakistan’s decision, especially given the way India refused to even shake hands with Pakistani players during the Asia Cup.

Given that we’re off to a rather spectacular start, this T20 World Cup promises to be rather interesting.

Good decision, why Pakistan even bother to see indian team which has no moral values like refusing handshake, receiving trophy from Pakistan and so on. First India learn how to behave like cricket as a gentle man game.

PCB knows well their team cannot beat India. Therefore it is better to boycott the match with India and please Bangladesh as well

The shenenigans between the two countries trivialises a genteel sport that is symbolises integrity, flair and sportsmanship at the highest level.Yes India indeed, has initiated the rot....no great surprise.However two wrongs do not make a right.This is not cricket.

No better way to counter Indian antics and idiocy than to trounce them on the field with bat and ball.Nothing succeeds like success.

Very wise decision, because pain of losing to the rival even though expected would be unbearable.

India and Pakistan are acting like pathetic parents who use their kids to settle their scores. India has been bringing politics into sports, third class mentality, Pakistan is now following suit.

Two wrongs don't make a right . If the Indians were or are immature why are we also behaving like that ? What's the difference in our attitudes , our characters , then ? I think that we should have gone ahead and played with India in a spirit of goodwill , like true Muslims.

As per the Australian media, pakistan is just like another bangaladesh if they are not playing against India. There is no excitement for pakistan playing cricket for anyone in the world.

Whether Pakistan plays World Cup cricket or not, nobody in this world cares least we Indians care. What Cricket fans care is about cricket. We will keep watching cricket till the time Match is been played.

Why did the U-19 match was not cancelled? THere is no consistency. Also who is going to loose. This decision will not effect Injdia but it will badly hurt Pakistan. Probably ICC will take more action regarding Pakistan's cricket. Foolish Government.
