The Pakistan cricket team's disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup 2026 is set to have serious repercussions, particularly for captain Salman Agha, who took over the leadership in March 2025. Under Agha's captaincy, expectations were high, yet the team's struggles have left the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) dissatisfied, as they were promised solid results by the selectors and management. With the team's placement on the brink of elimination, the pressure is mounting on the leadership to take action.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Nakvi has expressed his discontent with the team's performance, contrasting the expectations set by selectors and management before the World Cup. As Pakistan teeters on the edge of being ousted during the Super-8 stage, even a win against Sri Lanka would not guarantee their advancement to the semifinals. These unsatisfactory outcomes have put the selectors and management under scrutiny, as the PCB anticipates a better showing from its national team.

With rumors swirling that the board might enforce significant changes post-World Cup, the futures of key players, including captain Agha and possibly star batsman Babar Azam, are now at risk. The looming uncertainty around the team's strategic direction might impact not only the players' careers but also the PCB's future approach to cricket management, as they seek to ensure better performances in the future.
