WATCH | Pakistan Cricketer Abrar Ahmed's Shallow Threat Ahead of T20 WC 2026 Game vs India: 'There Are Some Teams...'

ICC T20 WC 2026: We are still a couple of weeks away from the high-octane India-Pakistan game at the T20 WC, and the mind games have already started. There is still no official confirmation over Pakistan's participation and yet a current cricketer has made a shallow comment.

India vs Pakistan clash on February 15

Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India will lock horns against the arch-rivals on February 15 in Colombo. By then, both the sides would have played two games. There are multiple reports claiming that the Pakistan Cricket Board is contemplating staging a protest in that game by wearing black armbands. 

There is nothing official on it as yet. Pakistan have announced their 15-member squad that will depart from Pakistan for Colombo on February 2 after the T20I series against Australia. Salman Agha would be in charge of the Men in Green and they will play their T20 WC opener against the Netherlands on February 7 in Colombo.
