India - the only country not to have agreed to accept the International Cricket Council's (ICC) new sponsorship requirements - have now signed up and confirmed a full strength squad will be competing in the event which starts later this week.
The row centred over a new requirement by the ICC which demanded players stop endorsing any product which may compete with one of the major commercial backers of the tournament.
With players across the globe up in arms over the new deal, the ICC was forced to drop plans to implement a similar deal for next year's Cricket World Cup, prompting many nations to play ball.
But India remained unhappy with the arrangements and threatened to send a second-string team to the tournament in Sri Lanka.
India is one of the most rabid consumers of cricket in the world, and the loss of a full-strength Indian team could have hit commercial deals already in place hard.
"The problem has been sorted out with the players and the ICC," Jagmohan Dalmiya, Indian cricket chief said. "We will go to Colombo with our best team."
The new deal proposed by the ICC required players not to endorse other firms for 30 days around the tournament. It is believed Indian cricket chiefs and the ICC have cut that requirement to just 16.
The ICC has assured Dalmiya any claims made by official sponsors over the Indian deal will be 'borne by the ICC'.
