PCB has postponed the launch of Pakistan’s official jersey for the T20 World Cup 2026. The unveiling was originally scheduled to take place after the toss of the second T20 International match against Australia in Lahore.
However, the PCB announced that the event had been delayed due to “unavoidable reasons,” without sharing further details.
According to several media reports, the delay is not related to the jersey’s design, quality, or marketing plans.
Instead, it is believed to be linked to uncertainty surrounding Pakistan’s participation in the T20 World Cup 2026. The PCB is reportedly still waiting for formal approval from the Government of Pakistan before confirming the team’s involvement in the tournament.
Sources say that clearance from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is particularly important, as international travel, security arrangements, and diplomatic considerations play a key role in such global sporting events.
Until this official approval is received, the PCB is cautious about making public announcements linked to the tournament.
The delay has sparked discussion among cricket fans, especially as jersey launches are usually part of pre-tournament excitement and promotion. However, officials believe it is important to follow proper procedures and government guidelines before moving forward.
The PCB has not shared a new date for the jersey unveiling so far. Fans and analysts are now waiting for clarity on Pakistan’s participation in the T20 World Cup 2026.
Once government clearance is granted, the board is expected to resume preparations, including promotional activities and official announcements related to the tournament.
