ISLAMABAD: Pakistan departed for the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka on Monday and awaited any sanction from the International Cricket Council for refusing to play India in the tournament. In video footage released by the Pakistan Cricket Board, the cricketers were dressed in their new World Cup kit as they boarded a bus from a hotel to the airport in Lahore. India is co-hosting the World Cup but Pakistan will play all of its games in Sri Lanka — including any in the knockout stage — because of political tensions with India.
