It also indicates that cricket diplomacy and multilateral engagement continue to influence decisions related to international sporting events.

With the instruction now issued, the Pakistan National Cricket Team is expected to take the field as scheduled on February 15, 2026, in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
