MUMBAI: Skipper Suryakumar Yadav broke silence on Pakistan boycotting the ICC Men's T20 World Cup match against India and stated that his team is ready to fly to Colombo on February 15 for the game at the R. Premadasa Stadium.

Pakistan will not play India in their scheduled Men’s T20 World Cup match in Colombo on February 15, after their government approved the Men in Green's participation in the World Cup on the condition that they will not play the match against India.

India and Pakistan are in Group A alongside Namibia, Netherlands and the United States of America (USA). All of Pakistan's matches are scheduled in Sri Lanka, which is co-hosting the tournament with India.
