Pakistan T20 World Cup Ban: What’s Next

The Pakistani country has had to suffer following its controversial Pakistan T20 World Cup Ban. The International Cricket Council (ICC) is thinking about various punitive actions against Pakistan. These are potential fines, the inability to participate in the games, and the exclusion of major competitions.

This was decided following the announcement by Pakistan that it was going to boycott their match with India. This action brought about intense feelings in the world of cricketing. Although, Pakistan will remain to participate in the tournament, missing a high profile match against India has serious consequences. Penalties are also likely to be mentioned by the ICC in the following weeks.

The initial step would most likely be financial sanctions. ICC has the ability to penalize the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in terms of defaulting on its tournament commitments. These penalties may amount to millions of money, which will impact on the overall budget of the board. These sanctions aim at ensuring fairness as well as all teams keeping their promises.

The other implication may be imposition of a ban on foreign players in Pakistan Super League (PSL). Such an action would ensure that foreign cricketers are denied a chance to play domestic tournaments in Pakistan. This action would undermine the PSL and lessen the global coverage. Foreign talent has worked wonders in the league and a ban would affect sponsorship and participation by fans.

As well, Pakistan can be isolated in bilateral series. Other cricketing countries would even refuse to hold matches with them. This would restrain the exposure of Pakistan in the international platform and influence the growth of players. This is a serious issue because continuous engagement in international cricket is essential in investment in ranking and experience.
