The Government of Pakistan has approved the national team’s participation in the ICC World T20 2026, paving the way for the side to compete in the global tournament.
However, the approval comes with a condition: Pakistan will not play the match scheduled against India on February 15, 2026.
Officials said this decision allows Pakistan to remain part of the competition while addressing specific concerns related to the high-profile fixture.
The announcement comes after days of uncertainty over Pakistan’s participation in the tournament.
The ICC World T20 2026 will feature the top cricketing nations from around the world and is expected to draw significant global attention.
