LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has reportedly received an invitation to attend the upcoming International Cricket Council (ICC) board meeting and the final of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season in Ahmedabad later this month.
According to sources, the ICC is set to hold a series of meetings, including sessions of the Chief Executives Committee (CEC) and the board, where discussions regarding the future structure of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) are expected to resume.
The CEC meeting is scheduled to take place virtually on May 21, while the in-person board meetings are planned for May 30 and 31 in Ahmedabad.
The IPL 2026 final is also set to be held on May 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Sources added that Naqvi would ordinarily be expected to attend the ICC Board meeting in person. However, the strained political and cricketing relations between Pakistan and India have cast uncertainty over his possible visit.
According to reports, the PCB chairman has forwarded the invitation to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who will decide whether Naqvi will travel to India for the meetings and the IPL final.
The upcoming ICC meetings were originally scheduled to take place in Doha earlier this year but were postponed due to regional conflicts.
