Harbhajan Singh, former Indian spinner, took a sly dig at Pakistan over their boycott drama, which finally concluded on Monday after meeting with an ICC representative in Lahore. Speaking to news agency ANI, Bhajji said that Pakistan are driven by financial interests and ultimately backed out due to significant financial implications. Financial loss is too high, and when it comes to money, they will come pleading to play. Meanwhile, the Pakistan government had earlier announced a boycott of IND vs PAK on February 15, showcasing solidarity with BCB after Bangladesh was replaced by Scotland in the ongoing ICC tournament. However, ICC warned PCB of strict action if they continued with their stance, following which a meeting between ICC, PCB, and BCB was held in Lahore on Sunday.
