If Pakistan pull out of T20 World Cup 2026 to support Bangladesh, this country will be replacement, name is…

Whether Pakistan will play in the 2026 T20 World Cup remains unknown. The head of their cricket board, Mohsin Naqvi, explained that they are waiting for orders from the nation’s leaders. He made it clear that the board will act only on official advice, which is currently delayed because the Prime Minister is abroad.

This news follows Bangladesh’s exit from the World Cup over safety worries

This news follows Bangladesh’s exit from the World Cup over safety worries, which led the ICC to remove them from the event. With the competition starting in just two weeks, Scotland has stepped in to take their spot. Naqvi argued that the ICC handled the Bangladesh situation poorly, suggesting they should have been given the same “hybrid” deal as Pakistan, where games are moved to Sri Lanka.

Which team will replace Pakistan if they pull out?

While Pakistan has made similar threats before, they have never actually followed through. However, if they do decide to quit this time like Bangladesh did, the ICC is prepared to give their spot to Uganda.

When Bangladesh left, Scotland took over because they were the best-ranked team that hadn’t made the cut. Since Uganda is next on that rankings list, they will be the ones to join the tournament if Pakistan chooses to walk away.

In which group is Pakistan competing?

Pakistan is set to compete in Group A with India, America, Holland and Namibia. With Salman Agha as their captain, the team is slated to face Holland first on February 7 in Colombo. Their next games include America on February 10, India on February 15, and Namibia on February 18. If Pakistan chooses to skip the event, Uganda will take over this exact timeline, similar to how Scotland inherited the matches previously meant for Bangladesh.
