Pakistan’s refusal to play India in T20 WC is irrational. Colombo is a neutral venue. Security isn’t an issue. The announcement came during an India-Pakistan U-19 WC game. Social media ‘warriors’ already damaged India-Bangladesh ties, allowing domestic politics to soil sports. Pakistan’s selective boycott is also cynical and, ultimately, self-defeating.
