After a 2-0 Test series loss in Bangladesh, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi is said to be weighing leadership changes, with ex-players Younis Khan and Mohammad Hafeez in talks for key roles.
The board announced disciplinary proceedings against the fast bowler for violating multiple clauses of his central contract during the PSL 11 season.
PCB announced the opening phase of HBL PSL 11 would be played without crowds due to West Asia conflict-related austerity measures, while several overseas players reportedly sought higher pay citing security risks.
The four-year TV and live-streaming rights deal is the largest in Pakistan cricket history, covering the HBL PSL for the 2026-29 cycle and bundling television and digital streaming rights for the first time.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is the official governing body for cricket in Pakistan, and its social media presence across Instagram and TikTok has grown into one of the largest sports-institutional accounts in South Asia. Rather than a single creator, this is a managed brand channel run by the PCB's media and communications team, covering the full breadth of Pakistani cricket — men's and women's teams, domestic tournaments like the National T20 Cup, bilateral series, and global events such as the T20 World Cup. Content ranges from match highlights and player features to behind-the-scenes footage of groundstaff interactions and stadium experiences at venues like Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, giving followers both the competitive drama and the human texture of Pakistani cricket.
The official Pakistan Cricket Board account is a natural destination for brands seeking reach across South Asian cricket audiences, with particular relevance for telecom, energy drinks, consumer goods, and financial-services categories targeting Pakistani and Indian markets. The audience is predominantly male and concentrated in the 18–34 segment, with a cross-border footprint spanning Pakistan, India, the US, and the UK — giving it rare diaspora-scale for a regional sports property. Content runs near-daily across both Instagram and TikTok, mixing match highlights, player features, and venue-experience content. A stadium partnership with ABS Developers is visible in recent post copy, consistent with the infrastructure and real estate category deals typical of national cricket boards at this tier.

Mike Hesson is serving as Pakistan's head cricket coach, a fact PCB's own content confirms with posts showing him meeting groundstaff and engaging with the team setup. Hesson is a New Zealander with extensive international coaching experience, appointed to help rebuild Pakistan's cricketing structure. PCB's official social media regularly features his interactions with players and support staff.
The Back Our Girls campaign is the Pakistan Cricket Board's dedicated initiative to grow public and commercial support for Pakistan's women's national cricket team. PCB pushes the hashtag heavily across Instagram and TikTok to spotlight women's matches, player milestones, and behind-the-scenes content. It reflects a broader effort to raise the profile of women's cricket in Pakistan and attract new audiences to the game.
PCB operates its official online store at shop.pcb.com.pk, which is linked directly in the board's TikTok bio. The shop carries official Pakistan team kit, accessories, and licensed fan gear. It is the safest destination for authentic PCB products rather than relying on third-party sellers.
Abrar Ahmed is a Pakistan mystery spinner who made a rapid name for himself with unconventional wrist-spin deliveries, including a distinctive googly that has troubled top-order batters at international level. He rose to prominence around 2022–2023 and has since been a recurring presence in PCB's social media content covering the national side. PCB's channels have highlighted both his personality and his performances, featuring him in food-and-fans style behind-the-scenes posts.
The National T20 Cup is Pakistan's premier domestic T20 tournament, organized by PCB and featuring regional franchises from across the country. It serves as a key proving ground for players pushing for selection in the Pakistan national T20 squad. PCB covers the competition extensively on its official Instagram and TikTok accounts, making it one of the most visible domestic competitions on Pakistani social media.
"Takraar" is an Urdu word meaning clash or confrontation, so Takraar Ka Time broadly translates to "Time for the Clash" — PCB uses it as a promotional campaign phrase to build hype around upcoming Pakistan fixtures. It appears consistently in the hashtags PCB pushes ahead of competitive matches. The slogan is part of PCB's wider strategy to market Pakistan cricket as high-intensity, appointment-viewing content.
Pakistan's headline home venues include Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and the National Stadium in Karachi, both of which appear regularly in PCB's official content. Gaddafi Stadium is one of South Asia's largest cricket grounds and serves as a flagship venue for international series. PCB promotes match-day ticketing and fan experiences at these stadiums through its social channels.
India accounts for roughly a third of PCB's total social media audience, reflecting the enormous passion for cricket across South Asia that transcends the Pakistan-India political rivalry. Many Indian fans closely follow Pakistan cricket — especially T20 performances and individual players — even when the two national teams rarely meet due to restrictions on bilateral series. Pakistan's historically aggressive playing style has long attracted genuine admiration from cricket fans across the border.
PCB's combined following across Instagram and TikTok runs well past the six million mark, placing it firmly in the Mega tier among sports governing bodies in the region. Their audience skews toward 18–34 year olds, the most commercially attractive demographic for cricket sponsors and broadcast partners. Beyond Pakistan, the account draws substantial viewership from India, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
PCB's official channels highlighted a bowler who became only the fourth Pakistan player to claim a hat-trick in T20 Internationals, pairing that milestone with a remarkable record of 18 wickets across just nine T20I appearances. The achievement was featured as a marquee stat post on PCB's Instagram, underlining the bowler's rapid rise in the shortest format. It reflects PCB's content strategy of celebrating individual milestones to drive engagement around the national team.
