Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Islamabad: Following the ICC’s decision to exclude Bangladesh from the T20 World Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly exploring options, including a possible boycott of its match against India on February 15 in Colombo. Sources suggest that if Pakistan chooses not to play against India, it may only lose two points, but the ICC would face significant financial losses.

The PCB is keeping its options open regarding participation in the tournament. The board’s chairman is expected to meet Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif today to discuss the next steps.

PCB sources claim that Pakistan’s stance is principle-driven, rejecting what it sees as the ICC’s double standards.
