Legendary Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh recently opined on Pakistan’s boycott reversal for the T20 World Cup 2026 match against India. He also claimed that Pakistan understood that its non-participation would not have affected the ICC event as well.

He told ANI: “I think they realised it really late that the tournament can go on even without them, but not without India. They were saying a lot of things, that they support Bangladesh and won’t play. Do that, that is their idea. We had said earlier that they would certainly take a U-Turn and play. Financial loss is too high and when it comes to money, they will come pleading to play.”

“That is what has happened…Financial loss is too high, and they could even be banned in future. ICC could have invoked charges against them, and maybe they would not have received the opportunity to host a tournament ever again. I think that is why the U-Turn happened,” he concluded.
