New Delhi. India and Sri Lanka will host the T20 World Cup 2026. Pakistan wants to start preparations for this in advance. Pakistan Cricket Board (Pakistan Cricket Board) has proposed to play additional T20 International matches instead of ODIs during the next month's tour with the objective of giving young players more opportunities in the smallest format of the game before next year's T20 World Cup.

It will be interesting to see whether the West Indies does yes or not.
