Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed that "all options" regarding a potential boycott of the T20 World Cup 2026 are still on the table, following a meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday.
The meeting, which lasted around 30 minutes, saw Naqvi brief the Pakistan PM on the situation, and a mutual agreement was reached to take a final decision by Friday, January 30, or Monday, February 2.
Pakistan’s participation in the T20 World Cup is uncertain after the International Cricket Council (ICC) removed Bangladesh from the tournament for refusing to travel to India. Reports suggest Pakistan is considering skipping their match against India.
Interestingly, Pakistan announced their 15-member squad for the T20 tournament on Sunday, but participation in next month’s T20 World Cup remains subject to government approval
