ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
Karachi, Feb 14: PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi will be in Colombo for Sunday’s Pakistan-India T20 World Cup encounter, with the visit also expected to include talks with ICC officials following a brief boycott episode that threatened the marquee fixture.
A source said senior PCB officials, including Pakistan Super League CEO Salman Naseer and Chief Operating Officer Sumair Ahmed, will accompany Naqvi to Sri Lanka for the Group A clash, which is slated to start in the late evening at the R Premadasa Stadium.
Relations between the ICC and Pakistan were strained earlier this month after the Pakistan government directed its cricket team not to play the India match in Colombo, a stance taken in solidarity with Bangladesh following Dhaka’s refusal to travel to India for its World Cup fixtures on security grounds.
