The Pakistan Cricket Board is reportedly set to clarify its stance on the proposed boycott of its T20 World Cup 2026 match against India in the next 24 hours after a marathon meeting with senior ICC officials in Lahore. With the mega India vs Pakistan group stage match of the T20 World Cup on February 15 just around the corner, the issue has quickly turned into one of the biggest topics in world cricket.
According to reports, the PCB is now expected to consult Pakistan’s federal government before taking the final call. Officials believe the next 24 hours could prove crucial as the board considers both the political direction and wider implications of withdrawing from cricket’s most watched rivalry. Naqvi is also likely to address a press conference today, with clarity expected soon after.
