Pakistan’s full schedule for the 2026 T20 World Cup: As expected, the Pakistani cricket team will play all its matches in Sri Lanka for the T20 World Cup, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, starting February 7th next year.
In the 2023 ODI World Cup, the high-voltage match between India and Pakistan was played in Ahmedabad, but this year the Indian team did not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy. It was subsequently held in a hybrid format. This is due to political relations between the two teams, which have deteriorated further following the Pahalgam attack. The Pakistani team also did not travel to India for the recent Women’s ODI World Cup matches.
Pakistan to play all matches in Sri Lanka
The Indian team played all its matches in Dubai and emerged victorious. Following this, it was decided that the Pakistani team would also not travel to India to play the T20 World Cup. ICC Chairman Jay Shah released the T20 World Cup schedule in Mumbai on Tuesday, officially confirming that India and Pakistan will clash in Colombo on February 15th. Twenty teams are participating in this World Cup, divided into four groups. Both India and Pakistan are in Group A. If Pakistan reaches the semi-finals and finals, they will play those matches in Colombo as well.
