Iceland Cricket Take A Dig At Pakistan Amid Ongoing Fiasco

On January 26, 2026, Iceland Cricket took to X to jokingly express that it is unfair for their team to be kept waiting while Pakistan make their decision of wheather to play in the upcoming World Cup or not. They even shared that their captain is a professional baker and would need time to prepare for the matches if Iceland replace Pakistan in the World Cup.

They wrote, "Apparently, Pakistan will not finally decide on whether to take their T20 WC place until 2nd February. This is very sneaky and unfair on our squad, who need certainty and extensive preparation in order to perform at their best. Our captain is a professional baker."
