The most recent development in the ongoing tensions between Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh regarding the T20 World Cup is the International Cricket Council's (ICC) decision to host a meeting aimed at easing these tensions. As reported by multiple sources including Daily The Patriot and Tribune Home, the ICC has invited the cricket board heads of five Asian countries to a meeting in Colombo before the Pakistan-India match on February 15, 2026. The meeting's purpose is to facilitate dialogue and resolve issues, with Bangladesh Cricket Board President Aminul Islam confirming the invitation and expressing hope that it would serve as an 'ice-melting step.' This meeting comes after a series of diplomatic maneuvers, including Pakistan's initial refusal to play against India in protest of the ICC's decision to replace Bangladesh with Scotland in the tournament.
