Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has revealed that the national team agreed to play the upcoming T20 World Cup match against India only after the International Cricket Council (ICC) acknowledged the "injustice" done to Bangladesh.

The uncertainty surrounding the high-voltage clash, scheduled for February 15, ended last night after the Pakistan government gave its green light for the team to participate.

The decision followed a trilateral meeting in Lahore involving the PCB, an ICC delegation, and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Aminul Islam.

Speaking to journalists in Peshawar on Tuesday, Naqvi asserted that Pakistan’s stance was entirely principled and focused on supporting their neighbors.

"We kept no condition other than the context of Bangladesh (in our discussions)," Naqvi said. "Our only goal was to earn some respect for Bangladesh and remedy the injustice done to them".

The crisis originated when the Bangladesh government refused to send its team to India due to security concerns, following the exclusion of pacer Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL amid threats from communal extremists.

After the ICC rejected Bangladesh's request to shift matches to Sri Lanka and replaced them with Scotland, Naqvi had publicly criticized the global body for "double standards".

Naqvi claimed that the resolution was a victory for Bangladesh's rights.

"You saw that everything Bangladesh wanted has been accepted, and that is the main point," he stated. "When their demands were met and it was admitted that injustice had been done to them, only then did we decide to play again".

He further clarified that Pakistan had no self-serving agenda in the boycott threat. "We had no personal motive in this... our work was solely regarding Bangladesh," Naqvi added.
