Suryakumar Yadav Confirms India's Travel to Colombo for Pakistan T20 World Cup Clash: 'We Are Going For Sure'

India captain Suryakumar Yadav has firmly stated that the Men in Blue will adhere to the official ICC schedule and travel to Colombo for their highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2026 clash against Pakistan on February 15. This declaration comes despite ongoing uncertainty and a reported boycott threat from the Pakistan government regarding the fixture. Speaking at the captains’ press meet, Suryakumar emphasized that the Indian team's focus remains solely on preparation and honoring the tournament commitments. He confirmed that travel arrangements are finalized, signaling India's clear intent to be present at the R. Premadasa Stadium. The team's immediate focus is their tournament opener against the USA on February 7, after which they will proceed to Sri Lanka as planned. This stance ensures that India will be ready to claim the two points via a walkover, should Pakistan fail to show up, as per ICC rules. Suryakumar’s comments aim to stabilize the narrative surrounding the high-profile match, which has been clouded by political tensions. By confirming their commitment to the fixture, the Indian skipper has placed the onus entirely on the governing bodies and Pakistan to resolve the boycott issue, allowing his squad to maintain focus on their title defense.
