Salman Agha's Statement Contradicts Naqvi, Confirms Pakistan's T20 World Cup Entry

  • Pakistan T20I captain Salman Ali Agha indirectly confirmed Pakistan's participation in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 by stating he will bat at number 3.
  • Agha's comments about preparing on specific pitches for the World Cup in Sri Lanka further hinted at their involvement.
  • This contradicts earlier statements by PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who suggested Pakistan's participation was uncertain due to venue disputes.
  • Naqvi had previously stated that Pakistan's involvement depended on government advice, despite the squad announcement.
  • A planned jersey unveiling event for the T20 World Cup was reportedly postponed due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Pakistan's participation.
