Bangladesh's sports adviser Asif Nazrul thanked Pakistan for backing Dhaka's boycott of the T20 World Cup, after Islamabad decided to skip its match against India in Colombo. A day earlier, Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif publicly justified the move as standing "completely" with Bangladesh. This exposed how both governments made cricket a theatre of a political engagement against India.
