The choice of the Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 Squad is slowly unfolding as deliberations are on in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Reportedly, the final consultations should be held shortly, and then the official squad announcement will take place. The fans are waiting to hear who will represent Pakistan in one of the largest cricket tournaments in the world.
Mike Hesson, the white-ball head coach, will come to Lahore following the tour of Sri Lanka by Pakistan. After he takes part in the coaching staff and the selectors, he will have end meetings where decisions will be made on the final team. Chairman of PCB Mohsin Naqvi will then approve the names before the official announcement.
The formal process has already involved PCB providing a tentative squad list to ICC. Nonetheless, they still can change until January 31 without further permission, which offers them freedom to assess the performances and fitness.
The squad of T20 World Cup 2026 in Pakistan reportedly consists of:
