LAHORE: Pakistan has named its final 15-player squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 today.
Key Squad Updates:
- Babar Azam Returns: The star batter is back in the mix, silencing critics who questioned his T20 future.
- Pace Power: The bowling attack remains heavy on speed, with Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah spearheading the unit.
The Controversy The announcement is clouded by the ongoing standoff between the PCB and the ICC. Pakistan is scheduled to play group matches in India, but the Pakistan government has yet to issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the team to travel across the border. With Bangladesh recently withdrawing due to similar issues, all eyes are now on whether Pakistan will board the flight next week.
