Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav broke his silence regarding this entire controversy and also targeted Pakistan.

Suryakumar Yadav made India’s stand clear

In the press conference of the captains before the start of T20 World Cup 2026, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav made it clear that Team India has not refused to play with Pakistan.

According to the schedule of T20 World Cup, the match between India and Pakistan is to be played on 15 February at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Team India in good rhythm

In the first warm-up match of the T20 World Cup, the Indian team defeated USA by 38 runs and then defeated South Africa by 30 runs. Ishan Kishan has staked claim for the opening batting order by playing a stormy innings of 53 runs in 20 balls against South Africa.

Gambhir was repeatedly asked questions about Pakistan, but he showed wisdom in maintaining silence. Let us tell you that as per the fixed schedule, the match between India and Pakistan is to be held in Colombo on 15th February.

The ‘Handshek controversy’, which started after the India-Pakistan match, is not taking the name of stopping. PCB had stopped its team from going to the field before the match against UAE. The match started an hour late amidst the controversy and now Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Raza Naqvi has confirmed that Andy Pycroft has apologized for the incident. But former board chairman Najam Sethi has given a new statement, through which he has targeted the Indian team.

Just before the Pakistan vs UAE match, Mohsin Naqvi Najam Sethi and Rameez Raja held a press conference. At the same time, former board chairman Najam Sethi said, “We have always said that politics should not be associated with sports. When I was the chairman, even when I was the chairman and still we have to say the same.”

Screws from India

Najam Sethi, in his statement, took the name of India, “He played politics, but we have not played. We have taken the spirit of the game. We asked for an apology and he apologized. I think people have won, people will appreciate our attitude in international cricket.

After the 7 -wicket victory against Pakistan on 14 September, when Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav was asked a question about this, he said that the team had done this in honor of the dead innocent people and the martyred soldiers in the Pahalgam terror attack. He also told that the decision not to join hands was of the entire team.
