Iceland Cricket sarcastically trolled the PCB over their T20 World Cup 2026 delay, joking that even a team led by a “professional baker” needs certainty. Fans joined in online, mocking Pakistan’s indecision and turning the post viral.
The Iceland Cricket took a brutal dig at Pakistan over the delay to confirm their participation in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026, which will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, beginning on February 7.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is yet to officially clarify whether the national team will take part in the 20-team marquee event after they threatened to withdraw as a show of solidarity with Bangladesh, who pulled out of the tournament after the ICC officially rejected their request for shifting their group stage matches from India to Sri Lanka. Although Pakistan will play its matches in Sri Lanka, the PCB has continued to delay a final call on participation.
PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who is also Pakistan’s Interior Minister, met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who returned after attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, to discuss the board’s stance and seek final direction on Pakistan’s participation. Following the meeting, Naqvi stated that Pakistan will take the final call by Monday, February 2.
