Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, Team India skipper Suryakumar Yadav said that his team will travel to Colombo for the high-voltage clash against arch-rivals, Pakistan, even though the opponent team has boycotted the match.
The "Men in Blue" are set to lock horns with the arch-rival on February 15, but Pakistan`s cricket team has been told by its government to skip the match after the International Cricket Council (ICC) removed Bangladesh after its refusal to play in India.
