T20 World Cup 2026 Captains Day Press Conference Live Updates: Pakistan’s Salman Ali Khan addresses media in Colombo
Later in the day, another round of press briefings will be held featuring captains from India, Afghanistan, Canada, England, Italy, Namibia, Nepal, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, USA and West Indies.
The interactions come in the wake of a major controversy that has overshadowed preparations, with Bangladesh being ejected from the tournament after refusing to play matches in India. The situation escalated further when Pakistan, following Bangladesh’s exit, declined to face India in a scheduled group-stage clash in Sri Lanka, adding a political dimension to what was expected to be a purely cricketing spectacle.
