T20 World Cup 2026 Schedule Announcement LIVE Updates: India have been grouped with Pakistan, the USA, the Netherlands and Namibia, a draw that virtually guarantees their progression to the Super Eight. Amid the ongoing debate over whether India and Pakistan should even face each other, especially after tensions escalated following the deadly Pahalgam terror attacks, it appears the ICC is aligning with the stance taken by India’s sports ministry. Ahead of the Asia Cup, the ministry had clarified that while India would not travel to Pakistan for bilateral matches, they would continue to participate in multinational tournaments as long as the fixtures are held at neutral venues. Dubai, for instance, has hosted such events in the past, and Colombo now falls into that bracket.
