The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) handed over multiple demands to the International Cricket Council (ICC) during a meeting on Sunday regarding the T20 World Cup match against India scheduled for February 15. Pakistan told the ICC they wouldn’t boycott the match if the demands were met. Now, according to reports, the ICC didn’t budge, though. Their demands covered things like bringing back India-Pakistan bilateral cricket and organizing a tri-series with Bangladesh.

So, if the reports are true, there’s still no bilateral series between India and Pakistan. The ICC gave PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi just a day to talk to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and nail down Pakistan’s position. Now, everyone’s waiting for the ICC to make it official—word on the India-Pakistan match should come Monday evening or Tuesday morning. That Sunday meeting dragged on for over five hours, with Pakistan’s Minister Mohsin Naqvi and ICC Deputy Chairman Imran Khwaja in the room.

Bangladesh Cricket Board President Aminul Islam Bulbul even flew to Lahore to join in. He was there because Pakistan was the only country that voted against dropping Bangladesh from the T20 World Cup after Bangladesh refused to play games in India. Earlier, on February 1, Pakistan’s government had said on social media that their team wouldn’t play India in the World Cup, though they didn’t explain much. Later, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif spelled it out—they were backing Bangladesh and called the ICC biased.

Here’s what Pakistan wanted from the ICC

• First, they wanted Bangladesh not to be punished for pulling out of the T20 World Cup and to still get their full share of ICC revenue. The ICC had already agreed to that one.
• Next, Pakistan said Bangladesh deserved to host a global tournament as payback for losing the Women’s T20 World Cup, which got moved to Dubai last year because of civil unrest. The Under-19 World Cup in the next cycle was floated as an option.
• Then, Pakistan pushed for India to restart bilateral cricket with them. The ICC shot this down, saying it has no control over bilateral series, not even Test matches.
• Pakistan also asked for a tri-series between India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, but again, the ICC said it wasn’t their call. Same story for the idea of India touring Bangladesh this year with a postponed series in 2025—the ICC said organizing those matches is out of their hands.
