PCB Chairman Delays T20 World Cup Squad Announcement

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has intervened to delay the announcement of the final national squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. The tournament is scheduled to be held in the United States and the West Indies next month (June 2024). Naqvi expressed dissatisfaction with the selection committee's irregular meetings and failure to share meeting minutes, prompting the delay.

Due to Naqvi's concerns, the announcement of the Pakistan squad, which was initially planned for today, has been postponed. The cricket board is now expected to unveil the 15-member squad later today after addressing the issues highlighted by the PCB chairman. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has set a deadline of May 25 for all participating teams to announce their squads.

The decision to delay the squad announcement reflects the PCB's commitment to transparency and accountability in team selection for the T20 World Cup. Fans and players alike eagerly await the final squad reveal, hoping for a competitive and successful campaign in the upcoming tournament.
