'Let’s Call Off This Nonsense': Tharoor, Priyanka Slam BCCI As Pakistan Boycotts India T20 Match

Pakistan’s decision to boycott its high-voltage match against India in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 has ignited a fierce political debate in India, with senior MPs turning their guns not on Islamabad, but on the BCCI. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor called the episode “nonsense” that has spiralled out of control, warning that the politicisation of cricket is damaging the very spirit of the game. He urged urgent dialogue through the ICC, saying sport should unite people, not deepen divides. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi went further, calling Pakistan’s boycott a slap on the face of the Sports Ministry and the BCCI, accusing the world’s richest cricket board of lacking the courage to take a clear stand earlier. As Pakistan signals it is willing to face penalties, questions are now being raised about whether India’s cricket establishment has misread the moment, lost leverage, and allowed politics to overtake sport on the global stage. #pakistan #icc #t20worldcup #indiapakcricket #iccworldcup #bcci #shashitharoor #priyankachaturvedi #pakistancricket #t20worldcup2026 #sportspolitics #cricketcontroversy #indiapakistan #india #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews —————————————————————————————————————————— TOI Bharat – Your Window to India And Its Neighbourhood TOI Bharat delivers the latest news, biggest voices, sharpest views and in-depth coverage of India’s political, social and economic landscape.
