The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has welcomed Pakistan’s decision to participate in the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan clash at the T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled for February 15 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla on Tuesday praised the International Cricket Council (ICC) for playing a decisive role in resolving the deadlock that had casted shadow over the marquee encounter. Pakistan’s change of stance came after the ICC confirmed that no sanctions would be imposed on the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for its earlier decision not to travel to India and assured Bangladesh of hosting rights for a future ICC event before 2031.
Speaking to reporters, Shukla acknowledged the efforts made by the ICC leadership and its representatives who held discussions with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the BCB in Lahore.
