• Match to go ahead in Sri Lanka on Sunday

• Government made decision after negotiations

Pakistan have agreed to play India in the T20 World Cup match scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka on Sunday, reversing a decision to boycott the game citing geopolitical tensions.

Pakistan announced their decision to boycott the match in Colombo after the International Cricket Council last month replaced Bangladesh with Scotland in the tournament, following Bangladesh’s refusal to travel to the co-hosts India. Following negotiations on Monday, the Pakistan government announced the game would be played.
