Pakistan suffered a narrow loss to England in the Super 8s of the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup, prompting backlash against captain Salman Agha. His wife, Sabba Manzer, highlighted online abuse directed at her and their son. Former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar questioned Agha's leadership suitability.
Following India's 96-run victory over New Zealand in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 final—their third title and first successful home defense—former Pakistan bowler Shoaib Akhtar controversially likened the team to a 'rich kid' dominating neighborhood cricket, claiming they have 'ruined cricket.' He praised coach Gautam Gambhir's role in building confidence.

Im T20 World Cup, nach Pakistans demütigender Niederlage gegen Indien, machte Shoaib Akhtar schnell einen U-Turn bei seiner Kritik am PCB-Chef Mohsin Naqvi. Akhtar erklärte, dass seine Bemerkung über 'Inkompetenz' verdreht wurde und Naqvi 'ein guter Kerl' sei. Diese Kehrtwende kam kurz nach dem Spiel in Colombo.
