News Summary:

On July 27, 2026, sources reported that Babar Azam accepted Pakistan's Test captaincy only after seeking assurances he would eventually regain leadership across all three formats, with two selectors reportedly meeting him before his Test captaincy was announced on July 5. On June 19, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) established eligibility criteria for its 2026-27 central contracts, stipulating that only male players who have participated in four Tests, six ODIs, or six T20Is in the preceding 12 months would qualify. This followed news from June 8, when Shaheen Shah Afridi's future in the longest format became uncertain as the selection committee and team management prepared to rest the national ODI captain from red-ball duties for the upcoming tours of the West Indies and England. Earlier, on May 18, the PCB announced the Pakistan Women's Squad for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026. Prior to that, on May 8, head coach Mike Hesson and Director High Performance Aaqib Javed, alongside other selectors, participated in consultations for the formation of the national white-ball side.
