The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering three possible actions to show support for Bangladesh ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed that while Pakistan had earlier indicated a possible withdrawal from the tournament, no final decision has been made. The board expects to reach a conclusion by Friday or Monday.
According to a Sama TV report cited in the source, Naqvi discussed the issue with board officials and former cricketers during a Pakistan Super League workshop, where he strongly supported Bangladesh. He reportedly stated that Bangladesh had been disrespected and should not be left isolated, reflecting the PCB’s stance.
The three options under review include wearing black armbands during matches to express solidarity with Bangladeshi fans, boycotting the February 15 India–Pakistan match citing Indian behavior, and dedicating Pakistan’s World Cup victories to Bangladesh’s cricket supporters.
