All Team Captains T20 World Cup Press Conference Today Live Updates: With just two days left for the start of the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, all captains are about to address the media in two separate press conferences today. The first press conference will be held in Sri Lanka’s Colombo, where the captains of Sri Lanka, Australia, Ireland, Netherlands, Oman, Pakistan, UAE and Zimbabwe will speak. Later in the day, captains of India, Afghanistan, Canada, England, Italy, Namibia, Nepal, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, USA and West Indies will address the media in groups.
The press conferences come on the heels of a massive controversy with Bangladesh being ejected from the T20 World Cup just weeks before the start of event for refusing to play games in India. Pakistan, in the aftermath of Bangladesh’s ouster, refused to play against India in a group stage game that was to be played in Sri Lanka.

Anticipating sanctions from the International Cricket Council (ICC) over their last-minute withdrawal from the T20 World Cup game against India in Colombo on February 15, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) might enforce the Force Majeure clause in their defence, The Indian Express has learnt.
The clause refers to unforeseeable circumstances that can prevent a contract from being fulfilled. And in their expected communication to the international body, sources said, the PCB will justify their stand by attaching their government’s social media post on February 1 that instructed them to boycott the India game.
