New Delhi: With only a few days left for the T20 World Cup, controversy has started around Pakistan. On February 1, the Pakistan government said the team will play in the World Cup but will not play against India. This decision has created tension before the tournament.
Soon after this, a Pakistani YouTuber and actor named Arsalan Nadeer made a shocking statement in a video that is now spreading fast on social media. In the video, he said that if the ICC office was in India, it would have been destroyed with a bomb. Many people have strongly criticised his words.

Arsalan Nadeer also spoke badly about ICC Chairman Jay Shah and attacked the ICC during the video. His comments were angry and irresponsible, and several users online have demanded action against him.
The T20 World Cup 2026 will start on February 7. Pakistan will play its first match against the Netherlands in Sri Lanka. Pakistan has already made it clear that it does not want to play against India in the tournament.
Experts say that if Pakistan refuses to play India, the ICC may take strict steps. An India-Pakistan match is very important for the tournament because it brings huge money and viewership. If the match does not happen, the World Cup could suffer big financial losses.
