If India refuses to play Pakistan, the PCB could hemorrhage up to ₹220 crore per ICC cycle—gutting their finances and destabilizing their cricketing ecosystem.
India-Pakistan games fuel record-breaking viewership. Without them, broadcasters lose interest, advertisers pull out, and PCB's revenue model collapses like a house of cards.
With India contributing 80% of ICC revenue, a boycott means fewer dollars for everyone—especially Pakistan. Shared wealth? Not when the biggest draw walks away.
Pakistani players rely on India matches for global visibility. Without those high-stakes face-offs, emerging talents lose their spotlight—and market value.
India's exit won’t just sting Pakistan. It could sway cricket boards and sponsors, isolating PCB in the global arena and reducing its pull in ICC politics.
Bangladesh could lose ₹130 crore too. India’s boycott might trigger a regional economic collapse in cricket, dragging multiple boards into financial quicksand.
India vs Pakistan is the most-watched game on the planet. Take it out of ICC tournaments, and you’re left with empty stadiums, lukewarm ratings, and fewer ticket sales.
Indian fans power the internet views that fund Pakistan’s YouTube channels and player promotions. Boycotts mean disappearing views—and vanishing revenue streams.
Already battling financial stress, PCB risks long-term collapse. Without India, Pakistan’s domestic leagues, grassroots programs, and player pipelines face a grim future.
