The high-stakes match between India and Pakistan at the T20 World Cup is back on after the Pakistani government on Monday directed its national cricket team to play India.
The decision taken to protect “the spirit of cricket,” the statement said.
The T20 World Cup match is scheduled for February 15 in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo.
Pakistan would have forfeited two points if they had skipped the match against India, potentially risking their chances of advancing in the tournament.
