  • Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed a decision on T20 World Cup 2026 participation will be made on Friday (Jan 30) or next Monday (Feb 2).
  • The decision follows a productive meeting between Naqvi and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad.
  • Pakistan's T20 World Cup 2026 schedule includes matches against Netherlands, USA, India, and Namibia, all in Colombo.
  • Salman Ali Agha will captain Pakistan's 15-member squad, which includes Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi, but not Haris Rauf or Mohammad Rizwan.
