The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly offered to host Bangladesh’s matches in the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup, which is being co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. Amid ongoing political tensions and potential security concerns for Bangladesh playing in India, sources say PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi wrote to the ICC proposing Pakistan as a neutral venue if needed.
This gesture marks a new chapter in cricket diplomacy, potentially improving regional ties. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has not officially responded but is awaiting ICC’s decision. Experts believe acceptance could bring additional matches and economic benefits to Pakistan. The ICC has yet to comment on the proposal.
