Pakistan cricketers have been cleared to feature in the Abu Dhabi T10 after the PCB and tournament organisers reached an agreement reportedly involving compensation and facilities worth up to USD 200,000. The league begins on November 7.
Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif congratulated the team after its four-wicket Hong Kong Sixes win over India, but his description of it as the opening clash drew attention because Pakistan had already played the UAE.
Pakistan defeated India by four wickets in a Group C match at the Hong Kong Sixes 2026, chasing 89 in just 3.5 overs at Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok. Khawaja Nafay struck 41 off 12 balls and Abbas Afridi made 35 off eight as Pakistan reached 91/2.
