Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 Squad Live Updates Babar Azam Mohammad Rizwan Likely To Be Dropped
Pakistan Squad For T20 World Cup 2026 Live: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to announce the squad for the T20 World Cup 2026 this week. Pakistan remains the only top team who have not yet named a provisional squad for the gala event in India and Sri Lanka. The Pakistan cricket team recently played in Sri Lanka, but the squad for the series missed a few big names, who will return for the T20 World Cup 2026. All eyes will be on Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, the two stalwarts of Pakistan cricket, and if they make the T20 World Cup squad. Both Rizwan and Babar were left out after a poor run in the T20 World Cup 2024, but Babar was recalled to the team after the Asia Cup. Rizwan and Babar are currently playing in the BBL, but their form has been poor, raising doubts if they'll be picked in the squad. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf are also part of the BBL teams, but they're almost certain to feature in the T20 World Cup squad. Stay tuned as we bring the latest updates from Pakistan's T20 World Cup squad announcement.


Pakistan Probable Squad: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Salman Agha (c), Usman Khan (wk), Khawaja Nafay, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Tariq, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi

Pakistan T20 World Cup Squad Live: Who Will Captain Pakistan In T20 WC?

Salman Agha has led the team since the exit of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, and he is most likely to lead the team in the T20 World Cup 2026. Agha, however, looked under pressure in the Asia Cup and there are doubts if he can take the pressure of leading the team in a world event. In that case, the PCB might ask Shadab Khan to lead, but that is very unlikely.

Pakistan T20 World Cup Squad Live: PCB Want To Host Bangladesh Matches

The BCCI and the BCB are in a rift over T20 World Cup venues. The Bangladesh Cricket Board refused to play matches in India, citing security concerns. The PCB saw it as an opportunity as offered to host Bangladesh's T20 World Cup matches in Pakistan. The chances of ICC agreeing to the offer are next to nil as India will not travel to Pakistan to play Bangladesh if the teams meet in Super 8s.

Pakistan T20 World Cup Squad Live: T20 World Cup Favourites

Pakistan have endured poor outings in the last few ICC events, but the Men in Green are a real threat to teams in the T20 World Cup 2026. They will be playing all their matches in Sri Lanka, and will be used to the conditions. They lost to the USA in the last T20 World Cup, but in conditions similar to home, they'll probably avoid any upset against the USA or the Netherlands in the group stage. Even if they lose to India, Pakistan should qualify for the Super 8s.
