The International Cricket Council (ICC) has sparked another controversy after sharing an illustration for the next year’s T20 World Cup in India without Pakistan’s representation.
The illustration includes cricketers from almost all countries participating in the 2021 T20 World Cup except Pakistan. Zimbabwe and UAE, which aren’t even participating in the tournament, have their representation, which questions ICC’s intent in sharing the artwork.

Players from Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Nepal, Netherlands, Ireland, etc. are all on the image alongside all the full-member nations, however, there’s no Pakistani cricketer.
The move has angered the Pakistani fans as well as others from across the world. Everyone’s questioning the ICC as to why they have missed a full-member team.

How can you approve any such GIF w/o a player from one of its significant members. @TheRealPCB would you please seek an explanation from @ICC.
Shambolic to say the least.

IS PAKISTAN NOT PARTICIPATING IN T20 WORLD CUP 2021? HOW CAN U NOT MENTION 2009 WORLD CHAMPION? FROM WHEN RACISM STARTS IN CRICKET? ANSWER!

Differences aside, I think Babar Azam should have been there. I understand that this picture is not from any ICC official, but out of fairness this should not have been approved to be posted here. You even have UAE and Nepal, but not Pakistan – that’s not fair.

Azam should've been there.— Vikram Vashisht (@VikramVashisht6) August 12, 2020
