Just as the drama was over, Naqvi jumped in, hinting that Pakistan’s participation was not yet finalised. “The government will decide whether we play the T20 World Cup or not,” said Naqvi, who is also the country’s interior minister. “Our prime minister (Shahbaz Sharif) is out of the country. When he returns, we will take advice from him. The government’s decision will be final and binding, and if they say no, they (ICC) can invite any other party.”
