The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a big decision ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup. The country's cricket board chairman Mohsin Naqvi has ordered the temporary suspension of all preparations related to the national team's World Cup, according to a report by the Pakistan Observer.

Sources said that the next steps will be communicated to the national team management later. At the same time, the PCB has directed the team management department to submit a parallel plan on what alternative plans can be taken if Pakistan does not participate in the World Cup.

The decision comes amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding Bangladesh. Pakistan has expressed full support for Bangladesh's decision not to travel to India to play in the T20 World Cup, calling Bangladesh's security concerns "reasonable and justified."

Sources say that if there is no resolution to the issue regarding Bangladesh, Pakistan may also reconsider its position. The PCB may even reconsider its participation in the World Cup.

Overall, the situation surrounding Bangladesh's security concerns could have an impact on the entire T20 World Cup. Incidentally, the tournament, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, is scheduled to be held next February. According to the World Cup schedule, the tournament is scheduled to begin on February 7.
