The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is weighing penalties for national players following the team’s lacklustre showing at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, sources told Geo Super on Monday.
The 2009 champions bowed out of the ongoing 20-team tournament last week after failing to beat Sri Lanka by a substantial margin in their last Super Eights match. Their five-wicket victory over the Lankan Lions was their only against a full-member nation as they suffered defeats at the hands of arch-rivals India and England in the group and Super Eight stages, respectively, while their match against New Zealand was washed out due to persistent rain in Colombo.
Pakistan’s exit extended their inability to qualify for the semi-finals for the second straight season, with their previous qualification coming in the 2022 edition when they finished as the runners-up.
