Abrar Ahmed bowled brilliantly in the first T20 against Australia before the T20 World Cup 2026. This performance played an important role in Pakistan cricket team winning the match. But in this match, his controversial wicket celebration was seen, which he had not been doing for a long time. When he was asked whether he would continue this in the T20 World Cup 2026, he gave a shameless answer. Without taking names, he said for Team India that he will do it whenever he feels like it.

Abrar Ahmed’s wicket celebration was in a lot of controversy last year, when he gestured with his head to the batsman and asked him to return to the pavilion. There was more uproar over this when he did this after dismissing Shubman Gill in the Champions Trophy. In an interview, he had told that after this uproar he had stopped celebrating.

What did Abrar Ahmed say?

Abrar Ahmed, who came to the press conference after the first T20 against Australia, was asked about his wicket celebration. The journalist asked, “You have done your old celebration again, which you were not doing for a long time. So will we see these celebrations in the T20 World Cup too or was it just for today?” On this, Abrar said, “I will keep doing whenever I feel like it. There are some teams against whom I will keep doing.”

India vs Pakistan match is on 15th February

However, Abrar Ahmed could not take the name of India directly. Let us tell you that India and Pakistan are in the same group in the T20 World Cup 2026 starting from 7th February, the clash between the two is to be held on 15th February. Pakistan will play all the matches of the tournament in Sri Lanka. However, there is suspense over his playing, because the PCB Chairman had said in a post that he will take a final decision on this by Monday.

In the first T20 against Australia, Pakistan won by 22 runs. Batting first, Pakistan had scored 168 runs. Abrar Ahmed played the highest innings of 40 runs, captain Salman Ali Aga scored 39 runs. Chasing the target, Australia could score only 146 runs, in which Abrar Ahmed’s bowling played an important role. Abrar took 2 wickets in 4 overs and gave only 10 runs.

t20 world cup 2026 Pakistan has declared its team for T20I, but after the post of PCB Chairman, there is uncertainty over their playing. In fact Mohsin Naqvi Had made a post saying that his final decision on the ICC case is yet to be taken. Amidst these threats from Pakistan Cricket Board, Iceland had enjoyed them, now Uganda has also joined it. He has offered to be ready for the tournament and play as a replacement.

When ICC excluded Bangladesh from T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan Cricket Board also started threatening to get out of the tournament, although after this PCB also announced the squad but a tweet by Mohsin Naqvi again created an uproar. While sharing the photo of the meeting with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, he said that the final decision in the matter related to ICC will be taken in the next few days. After Iceland, now Uganda enjoyed Pakistan and talked about playing as a replacement in the T20 World Cup.

Uganda enjoyed like this

Uganda wrote in a tweet, “Dear ICC, if there is a vacancy in the T20 World Cup, Uganda is ready, all the luggage is packed and pads are also there. Passports are ready. No baker will leave the oven and no plane will take a U-turn. Heat, noise, pressure? We will come with a bold kit. We are ready.”

Dear @ICC,

If a T20 World Cup seat opens, Uganda is ready – packed and padded.

Passports warm (not ice). No bakers leaving ovens or ships U-turning.

Heat, noise, pressure? We’ll bring the bold kit.

Yours,
Ready when you are https://t.co/6FAsQDLcXw

Earlier, Iceland, while making fun of Pakistan, tagged ICC and wrote on social media that “Even if Pakistan withdraws, it is with a heavy heart that we announce that we will not be able to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup.” This was a sarcastic post, in which he also took the name of Scotland and said, “We are not like Scotland that without any kit sponsor, we just felt like it and reached.” Let us tell you that ICC included Scotland in T20 World Cup 2026 in place of Bangladesh, that too only about 15 days before the start of the tournament.
