The latest development in the ongoing cricket diplomacy between India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh centers around an upcoming high-level meeting organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). This meeting, scheduled to coincide with the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup match on February 15, 2026, in Colombo, aims to ease tensions and foster better relations among the cricket boards of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan. According to Aaj TV Latest, Bangladesh Cricket Board President Aminul Islam stated, 'The primary purpose of this meeting is to improve relations between India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, which became strained before the World Cup, affecting the global cricket environment.' The ICC hopes that the presence of these five Asian cricket board heads will lead to 'meaningful negotiations' and promote 'cricket diplomacy' in the region. This initiative comes after Pakistan reconsidered its initial decision to boycott the match against India, following discussions about the financial implications, which include a potential $250 million in broadcast revenue, as highlighted by Aminul Islam in his interview with Prothom Alo.
