Sources stated that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi will meet with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif tomorrow, Monday.

The PCB Chairman will seek guidance on whether the country should participate in the T20 World Cup.

Sources added that Pakistan is currently deliberating on withdrawing from the tournament entirely. If Pakistan does participate, it is unlikely to play its scheduled match against arch-rival India.
