Salman Mirza, a fast bowler from Pakistan, announced that the national team is in full preparation for the T20 World Cup, and they are willing to face India in a match scheduled for February 15, contingent upon government approval. In a press conference ahead of their upcoming game against the United States, he emphasized that the decision to play against India would ultimately rest with the government. Mirza expressed confidence in the team's readiness for any opponent they may face during the tournament.

During the conference, Mirza made it clear that while the team is gearing up for the World Cup, their immediate focus is on the match against the USA, which had previously upset them in the last T20 World Cup. He reaffirmed that the team is taking one match at a time, concentrating on performing well against each opponent to achieve success in the tournament.

This announcement comes amid ongoing discussions around Pakistan's participation in matches against India, a rivalry steeped in political context. The players' comments reflect a professional attitude toward the game, but they also highlight the influence of governmental decisions on sporting events between the two nations. With the deadline approaching for their match against the USA, the Pakistani team is focused on proving themselves on the field before considering the implications of any future games against India.
