Suryakumar Yadav sends clear message as Pakistan threaten boycott of T20 World Cup match vs India: ‘We're ready to play’

Indian's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has said that his team is ready to play against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup Group Stage match scheduled for 15 February in Colombo, as per a report by news agency ANI.

"We didn't say 'no' to playing against Pakistan; they said 'no'. ICC scheduled the match, and we are ready to play. Our tickets are booked, and we are going to Colombo after Delhi," Kumae said, as per ANI.

If India go to Colombo and the Pakistan team still refuses to play, India will be awarded the full two points of the match while Pakistan's net run rate will be negatively affected, thus impacting their chances in the tournament going forward.
