The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has postponed the unveiling of Pakistan’s official jersey for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 due to what it described as “unavoidable reasons,” according to sources. The jersey launch was planned to take place after the toss of the second T20I match against Australia at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, but the event was quietly put on hold.
The delay comes at a time when uncertainty surrounds Pakistan’s participation in the T20 World Cup. The tournament is scheduled to begin on February 7, 2026, and will be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka. Ongoing discussions at senior levels are reportedly reviewing Pakistan’s position, amid rising boycott trends and concerns related to travel, security, and broader political factors.
Sources close to the matter say the PCB is waiting for clarity before moving forward with promotional activities, including the official kit launch. Jersey unveilings are usually tied to confirmed participation, sponsorship commitments, and marketing campaigns, all of which are now on pause.
Officials have indicated that a final decision on Pakistan’s participation is expected on Monday after high-level consultations. Until then, all related activities remain under review.
As per the current schedule, Pakistan is placed in Group A and is set to begin its World Cup campaign against the Netherlands. Fans, however, remain anxious as speculation continues on social media regarding the team’s involvement in the tournament.
The postponed jersey unveiling reflects the uncertainty around Pakistan’s T20 World Cup plans. Cricket followers across the country are now waiting for an official announcement that will determine Pakistan’s presence in one of the most important global cricket events.
