NEW DELHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will take a final decision on participating in the men’s T20 World Cup either on Friday or next Monday, chairman Mohsin Naqvi said after meeting Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday. Naqvi confirmed through social media that the matter was discussed in detail during his meeting with the Prime Minister earlier in the day. "I had a productive meeting with the Prime Minister and briefed him on the ICC matter. He directed that we resolve it while keeping all options on the table," Naqvi tweeted. "It was agreed that the final decision will be taken either on Friday or next Monday," he added. Options discussed to support Bangladesh According to sources, Prime Minister Sharif told Naqvi that Pakistan should extend all possible support to Bangladesh, who were recently ousted from the tournament scheduled to begin on February 7. The sources said the Prime Minister was briefed on several scenarios, including the possibility of Pakistan opting out of the World Cup altogether, or taking part in the event but boycotting the high-profile clash against India slated for February 15, if such a move could benefit Bangladesh cricket in any way. The PCB had earlier maintained that the government would have the final say on Pakistan’s participation in the event, given the evolving situation following Bangladesh’s withdrawal from the competition. Bangladesh, who have since been replaced by Scotland in the 20-team tournament, had sought a shift of their matches to Sri Lanka, citing security concerns in India. However, the ICC rejected the request, stating that no verifiable threat existed. (With PTI Inputs)
