PAK Single Condition For India vs Pakistan: The India-Pakistan match in the 2026 T20 World Cup is in discussion. According to the ICC schedule, the match between the two was to be played in Colombo, Sri Lanka on 15 February. But the Pakistan government had made it clear before the start of the World Cup that their team would participate in the tournament but would not play against India. Now Pakistan seems ready to play the match against India with one condition.

According to Cricbuzz, Pakistan Cricket Board wants Team India to participate in a tri-series. Teams from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh will be present in this tri-series. If this offer is accepted from the Indian side, then the team will be given permission by the Prime Minister of Pakistan to play the match against India in the T20 World Cup. The Troy Series will be held at a neutral venue. However, no official announcement has been made in this regard by ICC or any other board yet.
