Dhaka, Jan. 26 -- The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that a final decision regarding the national team's participation in the upcoming T20 World Cup will be made by early next week.

The confirmation came from PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi on Monday, following a high-level meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Naqvi, who also serves as the country's Interior Minister, described his discussion with the Prime Minister as "productive."

According to the PCB chief, PM Shehbaz Sharif has instructed the board to resolve the ongoing standoff with the International Cricket Council (ICC) while keeping "all options on the table"-a directive that suggests a full boycott remains a distinct possibility.
