As anticipated, the political masters of Pakistan have finally directed its national cricket team to lift the boycott and play India on 15 February, 2026, as scheduled in Colombo . The Masters must've thought the money at stake is too lucrative to continue indulging in such kind of grumpy politics.

Centuries and half centuries are basically test cricket concepts where you can dig yourself in and build your innings as you have ample time.
Come one day cricket and overs allowed have reduced to just fifty per innings. You have to make a hundred or a fifty within that limit.
