Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan named a 15-man squad for the event. Earlier, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi had stated to boycott the marquee event in order to express solidarity with Bangladesh.
Naqvi had suggested pulling out of the tournament after the International Cricket Council (ICC) replaced Bangladesh with Scotland following their refusal to play matches in India, citing security concerns.
