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. Of course, they had imposed some pre-conditions that included making the 'handshake' a mandatory protocol, but the ICC looked the other way. So, the PCB takes it as protecting the 'spirit of cricket'.

Just remembered one very old joke that was doing its rounds in our childhood days. Immensely liked it those times and never forgot it till today! So why not put it out here for all of you!

At that moment a third drunk happened to pass by. The two debaters decided to take the third opinion to settle the issue.
“Hey pal, just a minute please!’ Pointing at the street lamp above, “Please tell us is this the sun or the moon?”
“Very sorry, guys! I am new to this area!”
Better you laugh, because the noisy debate about the result of today’s cricket match is still raging! Laugh, laugh and enjoy! If India win you shriek with laughter hoping to watch another classic soon! If India lose you laugh more being grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a rare blockbuster!
Bwahahahahahahaha. Sorry it took me so long to respond. Easter Sunday had us busy all day yesterday.
