Pakistan is closing in on its squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 with the Pakistan Cricket Board finalizing a list of probable players ahead of the official announcement. Final consultations are expected in Lahore between selectors head coach Mike Hesson captain Salman Ali Agha and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi once Pakistan’s tour of Sri Lanka concludes.
The board has submitted a preliminary squad to the ICC but retains flexibility to make changes until the January 31 deadline weighing form fitness and team balance. Key national players from senior stars to emerging talent remain under consideration as Pakistan also prepares for a home T20I series against Australia which could influence last minute decisions.
At the centre of the selection process is Mohsin Naqvi whose leadership has guided the PCB’s strategic decisions overseeing squad planning and broader cricket administration. His role ensures that both performance and governance are considered before finalizing the 15‑man World Cup squad.
The final team will be announced soon setting the stage for Pakistan’s campaign at the T20 World Cup co hosted by India and Sri Lanka next February and March with fans eagerly awaiting the names that will represent the nation on the global stage.
