Clash between India and Pakistan on 15 February
New Delhi: The situation is not yet clear regarding the match between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026. The Pakistan government posted on social media that the team will not play the match against India. At the same time, Pakistan Cricket Board has not given official information about this to ICC also. The two teams are scheduled to clash on 15th February at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Cricket fans have been waiting for this match for a long time.

Najam Sethi gave suggestion to ICC

According to former chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board, Najam Sethi, if Bangladesh is re-inducted into the T20 World Cup 2026, then there can be a match between India and Pakistan. Speaking to India Today, the former PCB chairman said, ‘According to me, if Bangladesh can be invited to Sri Lanka then it is not too late. A lot of matches are being played there.

Pakistan took a conscious decision

If there is no match between India and Pakistan, then ICC as well as cricket will suffer a big loss financially. According to Sethi, Pakistan has taken this decision very thoughtfully. He said- PCB leadership has examined all possible outcomes. He has taken advice from lawyers in the country and abroad. They are satisfied with this decision.

According to Najam Sethi, earlier Pakistan Cricket Board was alone. Because of the attitude of BCCI, no one used to support him but now things are changing. He said- The biggest issue is the attitude of BCCI. At every stage he has threatened other cricket boards. Earlier Pakistan was alone and everyone supported India. Now this is changing. Now Bangladesh has also been ignored. Pakistan and Bangladesh together have more than 400 million people.
