PCB Plan B T20 World Cup 2026 strategy, what Pakistan will do next

To ensure players remain match ready during the World Cup window, the PCB has finalised a domestic fallback tournament with the following structure:

  • Pakistan national team, Shaheens, and Under 18 players to be pooled together
  • Squads divided into four competitive teams
  • Domestic style tournament scheduled in Lahore
  • Matches designed to replicate high pressure international conditions
  • Coaching staff to monitor form, workload, and fitness

The PCB believes the plan protects player sharpness and safeguards long term team depth while international uncertainty continues.
