Pakistan has agreed to play against India in the upcoming T20 World Cup, reversing its earlier boycott decision. Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi welcomed the move, calling it a triumph for cricket. In a post on his X account, Afridi said the government’s decision to participate preserved the sanctity of the tournament and ensured global stability for the sport. He added that cricket had won and would continue to play a role in bridging divisions.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan also praised the decision, describing it as positive for both competition and cricket. Vaughan expressed hope for a future Test series between the two rivals, suggesting that the United Kingdom could host a three-match series.
India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral series for more than a decade due to strained diplomatic and political relations. Their encounters have been limited to major ICC and ACC tournaments during this period.
