Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi stated that Pakistan’s involvement in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 will be decided by the government, following Bangladesh’s removal from the tournament for refusing to travel to India over security concerns. Naqvi criticised the ICC for replacing Bangladesh with Scotland, calling it unfair. He emphasized that the PCB supports Bangladesh and will follow the instructions of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif before confirming Pakistan’s participation. Contingency plans are ready for all possible outcomes, as the cricket board awaits government approval. (PC: PTI)
