Pakistan will seek advice from their government if they reach the knockout phase of the T20 World Cup and meet arch-rivals India, captain Salman Agha said on Thursday.

The tournament has been marred by an acrimonious political build-up after Bangladesh were kicked out and Pakistan refused to face co-hosts India in their Group A match. However, a semi-final or final showdown between the uneasy South Asian neighbours is still a possibility.

"The India game is not in our control. It was the government's decision and if we have to play them in the semi-final or the final, we will go back to them and act on their advice," Agha told reporters in Colombo.
