Now that the dust has settled over the February 15 India-Pakistan clash in Colombo, which is back on the road, cricket will hopefully continue to remain in the spotlight and not be overshadowed by controversies and developments off the park.

Edition 10 of the T20 World Cup is just four days young, but it has already thrown up its fair share of excitement. The so-called ‘smaller’ nations have put up spirited displays; Netherlands almost upset Pakistan’s applecart in the opener in Colombo on Saturday, India were given a mighty scare by United States that same night and the following evening, Nepal came within one hit of stunning England, also in Mumbai.
