The cricketing world is all set to witness yet another blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan come Feb 15, in the T20 World Cup in Colombo. The clash is happening after all the drama that took place until a few days back. Pakistan had refused to play against India, since Bangladesh had withdrawn.
Jay Shah-Mohsin Naqvi to attend IND vs PAK?
But then, as was expected the match is back on track. In fact, the match is could be attended by some dignitaries. On the list will be ICC chairman Jay Shah, PCB head Mohsin Naqvi and even BCB president Animul Islam. The same was reported on social media by RevSportz’s Rohit Juglan, and Pakistan Observer.
Handshake on the cards?
The social media buzz doesn’t stop there. It seems that the IND and PAK players will finally be shaking hands, after this was given a miss in the last year’s Asia Cup. There is no confirmation on this front though, but has gained some traction on X recently. Talking purely about the match, rain could play spoilsport, and the match faces the risk of being washed out.
The Sri Lankan authorities have already given a rain alert for Feb 15 in Colombo. And in case no result is achieved, India and Pakistan will share a point each.
