The Government of Pakistan has approved Pakistan’s participation in the ICC World T20 2026, clearing the way for the national side to take part in the global event.
However, the approval comes with a key condition. The Pakistan Cricket Team will not take the field in the match scheduled for February 15, 2026, against India.
Officials said the decision allows Pakistan to remain part of the tournament while addressing specific concerns linked to the high profile fixture.
The move follows days of uncertainty over Pakistan’s participation in the competition.
The ICC World T20 2026 is set to feature top cricketing nations from around the world and is expected to draw global attention.
