The India vs Pakistan match is one of the most anticipated matches in the world of cricket. The two teams have a long and storied rivalry, and the matches between them are always closely contested. The match in Ahmedabad is expected to be a sell-out, and it is sure to be a memorable occasion for both teams and fans.

The ICC has said that it is working with the PCB and the BCCI to try to resolve the issue. However, it is possible that Pakistan will not participate in the World Cup if the two boards cannot reach an agreement.
Reasons why Pakistan is refusing to be a part of the 2023 World Cup in India:
- Security concerns: The PCB is worried that its players would be at risk if they traveled to India for the World Cup. There have been several terrorist attacks on Pakistani cricketers in India in the past, and the PCB does not want to put its players in danger.
- Political tensions: The two countries have a long history of political tensions, and the PCB is concerned that the atmosphere in India would be hostile towards the Pakistani team.
- Bilateral relations: The bilateral relations between India and Pakistan have been strained in recent years. The two countries have not played a bilateral Test series since 2012, and there have been several diplomatic rows between them.
It is unclear what will happen if Pakistan does not participate in the 2023 World Cup. The ICC could reschedule Pakistan’s matches to be played in a neutral venue, or it could even cancel the matches altogether. However, it is also possible that the ICC will simply allow Pakistan to forfeit its matches.
