Pakistan, Jan. 21 -- Pacer Haris Rauf is likely to be dropped from Pakistan's squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 set to be held from February 7 to March 8 in India and Sri Lanka, sources said on Tuesday.

Rauf, who last represented Pakistan in the 20-over format at the Asia Cup 2025 final against India, will not be included in the 15-member team, sources said.

They add that coach Mike Hesson is not in favour of Rauf's inclusion following the Asia Cup final against India in September 2025, where the right-arm pacer conceded 50 runs in 3.4 overs without taking any wicket.

The Green Shirts had lost the match with India successfully chasing down the 147-run target in 19.4 overs at the loss of five wickets to be crowned champions.
