ICC The stir in worldwide cricket has intensified after Bangladesh’s exclusion from the T20 World Cup 2026. If any nation has been most affected by this resolution, it’s Pakistan. The statements and actions of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) instantly after Bangladesh’s elimination have raised many questions.
After the ICC resolution, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi made it clear in a press convention on January 24 that no remaining resolution has been taken but on whether or not the Pakistan group will play in the T20 World Cup 2026 or not. He mentioned that any resolution might be taken on this challenge solely after talks with the Pakistan authorities. His assertion clearly indicated that this matter has now gone in a political course fairly than cricket.
However, the very subsequent day of this assertion i.e. on January 25, PCB shocked everybody by asserting its 15-member group for the T20 World Cup. After the announcement of the squad, the query arose that when there’s doubt about taking part in in the match, then why was the group introduced? The reply to this query was given by Pakistan’s Chief Selector Aaqib Javed in the press convention. He clearly mentioned that the job of the selectors is to decide on the group and to not determine whether or not the match might be performed or not. According to Aaqib Javed, PCB has introduced the squad inside the ICC deadline and now the federal government will take the additional resolution.
