This claim has been thoroughly investigated and found to be false
Summary: There is no credible evidence that Pakistan asked Bangladesh to boycott the Cricket World Cup in India, or that Pakistan followed through with such a boycott. The post by @FrontalForce on X appears to recycle old content from India-linked accounts and uses AI-generated imagery to mislead viewers. The people and locations in the images are identified as Indian, not Pakistani. There are signs of digital manipulation, and Indian media is spreading fake news.
How to verify: Check with official cricket boards (PCB, BCCI), trusted international outlets, and archived posts from credible sources. Be cautious of claims that rely on dramatic language, unverified screenshots, or aged clips.
Context: The post mentions a Kanglu board Ummah and suggests a boycott; these terms appear in propaganda and are not recognized by credible sources. This is an example of misinformation that recycles old images and videos as if they were new incidents in Pakistan.
