T20 WC: Key Pak bowler to miss; PCB decides to go in different direction

Pakistan may drop fast bowler Haris Rauf from their ICC T20 World Cup 2026 plans, according to reports. Influenced by head coach Mike Hesson, the decision follows Rauf’s absence from recent T20 internationals since the 2025 Asia Cup, as selectors assess other bowling options despite his strong Big Bash League form.
