PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi Halts Pakistan T20 World Cup Squad Announcement

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has stopped the official announcement of Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad after expressing serious reservations over the selection process, according to sources familiar with the matter. The development has sparked widespread discussion among cricket fans and analysts, as reported by News360Plus.com.

Sources revealed that Mohsin Naqvi was displeased that proper consultation meetings were not held before finalising the squad for the mega event. However, it is important to note that Naqvi did not object to the selected players themselves, but rather raised concerns over the procedural lapses adopted by the selection committee. Detailed updates regarding PCB internal matters are regularly covered on News360Plus.com.

According to insiders, the PCB Chairman has formally written a letter to the national selection committee, seeking clarification on why the meeting minutes were not shared with him prior to the squad’s finalisation. This lack of transparency reportedly caused frustration at the top level of the board. More background on PCB governance issues can be found on News360Plus.com.

Due to these unresolved concerns, the Pakistan T20 World Cup squad announcement has been temporarily delayed, and it will only be made public once the entire selection process is completed according to PCB protocols. Sources added that the required procedural steps are expected to be completed within the next few hours, after which the squad announcement will follow. Similar reports were also highlighted by Geo News.

The deadline for squad submission is May 25, and any changes after that date will require approval from the ICC Event Technical Committee. Pakistan has been placed in Group A of the tournament alongside India, Ireland, Canada, and the USA, making early clarity on squad selection crucial. Full match previews and squad analysis are available on News360Plus.com.

Pakistan’s likely T20 World Cup squad includes Babar Azam (captain), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir, Haris Rauf, and several other key players, with Salman Ali Agha and Irfan Khan named as reserves. Fans are eagerly awaiting the final announcement as Pakistan prepares for a high-stakes tournament.
