The sources said that the majority of the team’s players are likely to face major fines due to their subpar performances throughout the tournament. However, they said that there are certain complexities involved in the process, which are currently being deliberated upon. It is also being reported that the legal considerations are also being examined in relation to the players’ central contracts before any fines are imposed. Pakistan eliminated from ICC T20 World Cup 2026 The Pakistani team, despite a win over Sri Lanka, was eliminated from the World Cup due to a string of disappointing performances. The so-called all-rounders including Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz and Salman Ali Agha were among the key players who failed to deliver. Shadab Khan scored 118 runs and took 5 wickets throughout the tournament, while captain Salman Ali Agha could only manage 60 runs and 1 wicket in seven matches. Mohammad Nawaz, on the other hand, scored just 15 runs and claimed 6 wickets in his seven matches. Similarly, Saeem Ayub, although taking 6 wickets, only managed to score 70 runs as an opener. Pakistan’s victory against Sri Lanka in a thrilling encounter, where Sri Lanka fell short by just 6 runs in their chase of 213, was not enough to secure their place in the tournament. Despite the narrow win, Pakistan was ultimately eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2026. ‘212-Not Enough: Pakistan’s T20 World Cup 2026 Dream Explodes in Pallekele
