Pakistan have officially unveiled its kit for the upcoming T-20 World Cup, named the “Markhor Edition,” drawing inspiration from the country’s national animal, the Markhor.
The new jersey prominently features the Markhor motif and comes in Pakistan’s traditional and light green colours, symbolising national pride, resilience, and unity.
The design reflects Pakistan’s identity and fighting spirit as the team prepares for the global tournament.
The kit launch event was attended by key national players, including Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Salman Ali Agha, Naseem Shah, and Faheem Ashraf, adding star power to the unveiling.
Speaking on the occasion, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi extended his best wishes to the national side.
He expressed confidence in the team’s current form and said he hoped the players would return home with the World Cup trophy. Naqvi added that the squad is well-prepared and capable of delivering strong performances in the tournament.
Earlier, Pakistan confirmed its participation in the upcoming T20 Cricket World Cup but announced that it will not play the scheduled match against India.
The decision came after PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during which an important decision regarding the country’s T-20 World Cup participation was made.
Following the meeting, the government officially stated that Pakistan would compete in the tournament, while opting out of the February 15 clash against India.
The development marks a significant move ahead of the T20 World Cup, as teams prepare for the high-profile tournament.
Last week, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, in a conversation with national cricketers, had stated that the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s stance is based on principles. “We supported Bangladesh while keeping the golden rules of cricket in mind. Our players are talented, and success in any field comes from teamwork,” he added.
Mohsin Naqvi emphasised that politicised cricket is not in anyone’s interest. “We will fully implement the decision of the Pakistani government regarding the World Cup,” he said.
