CHENNAI: It's now highly likely that the game between India and Pakistan will go ahead on February 15. After a week of hectic parleys and informal back-channel communications between all boards and stakeholders, the T20 World Cup game seems to be on at Colombo on Sunday. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), who had initially said they would boycott the game to stand in support of Bangladesh, will likely ask their side to take the field. Per the new arrangement, BCB will also have the right to host an ICC event before the 2031 World Cup. This could the next edition of the men's Under-19 World Cup in 2028.
