Naqvi remains Pak cricket's last hope: Akhtar after their T20 WC exit

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar backed PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi despite Pakistan's elimination from the T20 World Cup 2026. "Naqvi is one of the most powerful chairmen in Pakistan’s cricket history. He has influence, resources and authority," he said. Akhtar added that Naqvi remains Pakistan cricket's "last hope" but needs the right support structure to "turn things around".
