NEW DELHI: Iceland Cricket is known for its witty and hilarious social media posts, and their humorous acumen has once again gone up a notch - with Pakistan again finding themselves at the centre of the roast.

Iceland Cricket has started taking hilarious digs at Pakistan on social media after PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi said that Pakistan's decision to participate in the T20 World Cup rests with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, following their meeting, and that the final decision will be made by Monday.

Earlier, they playfully called out Pakistan for delaying their decision on whether to participate in the T20 World Cup. They joked that their own team is ready to travel the moment Pakistan confirms a pullout on February 2, but the tight flight schedule to reach Colombo by February 7 makes logistics tricky.

In another hilarious post on Thursday, Iceland Cricket jokingly expressed their inability to replace Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in India and Sri Lanka from February 7.

They said it would be impossible for their squad to prepare on such short notice and drew parallels with Scotland, who stepped in for Bangladesh at the last minute after the ICC rejected the Bangladesh Cricket Board's request to shift their matches from India to Sri Lanka due to security concerns.

"Dear ICC, It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor," Iceland Cricket wrote in a lengthy post on X.

They joked that their squad members have real-world jobs and responsibilities - like a baker, a ship captain, or bankers - so they cannot just drop everything to play professional cricket at short notice.

"Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game," they added.

"This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought.

Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided. The future is always ice, until it isn't. Yours sincerely, Icelandic Cricket Association."
