The much-awaited India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match is back on after Pakistan lifted its boycott. Pakistan's government had ordered the team not to play Sunday’s game in Colombo. But late Monday, they reversed that decision following talks with the ICC and cricket boards. This relief pleased fans, players, and coaches in both nations. India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said, “It’s great that the game is back on. We kind of never changed the preparation.” India will meet Namibia in New Delhi on Thursday and then fly to Colombo for the big Sunday clash. Ten Doeschate added, “It’s going to be a challenge going to Colombo, where Pakistan have been for the last two weeks. We are fully focused on just bringing our best game to that fixture.” The Pakistani government said on its official X account this reversal protects “the spirit of cricket.” Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal told AFP, “We want strong teams to play so that the charm of the World Cup is not lost.” Sri Lanka, host of the match, also praised the decision. Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake thanked Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for “ensuring the game we all love goes on.” Fans feel excited to watch the historic rivalry. Karachi fan Kafeel Ahmed said, “If Pakistan wins by 12 runs, there is no greater happiness than that.” India and Pakistan haven’t played a bilateral series since 2012-2013 due to political tensions. BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla commended the ICC for resolving the issue, calling it “a big achievement.” The match promises thrilling cricket and huge business benefits for all involved.
