Pakistan are set to play against India on February 15, at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo after boycotting the marquee clash earlier this month. The Pakistan Government had directed the national team not to participate in the match against India, as it vowed to stand in solidarity with Bangladesh who were ousted from the T20 World Cup for refusing to travel to India.
Meanwhile, BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla has credited for resolving the issue and making sure that the million-dollar game is happening as scheduled. He also noted that Bangladesh have also been provided relief despite missing the T20 World Cup and expressed confidence that the World Cup will be a successful event in India and Sri Lanka.
“I am delighted to see the outcome of the deliberations initiated by ICC representative, supervised by the ICC Chairman and the representatives who had gone to Lahore to talk to Pakistan Cricket Board as well as Bangladesh Cricket Board. It’s a good solution, an amicable solution which has been found to give priority to cricket’s importance in the game. This is what has been done. So all kudos to ICC for taking this initiative, resolving the whole issue and bringing cricket back to the forefront,” Rajeev Shukla said while speaking to the media.
