Boycotting India game appropriate: Pak PM Sharif

Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has hardened his Government’s refusal to play India in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, declaring that Islamabad will not back down even as the decision sparks growing controversy within global cricket and places the tournament’s most anticipated fixture in jeopardy.Speaking after a Cabinet meeting in Islamabad, Sharif confirmed that Pakistan will skip its scheduled February 15 group-stage match against India in Colombo, despite allowing the national team to participate in the rest of the World Cup.
