In March 2016, Pakistan was eliminated from the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 after losing 3 matches against India, New Zealand and Australia and only winning against Bangladesh. This caused great controversy over whose 'fault' it was. Khan was amongst those blamed and there were talks about him retiring from PCB after this. However, he later spoke out and said he would not resign.^[10] He also said it would be better to bring in a foreign coach, implying that Waqar Younis' coaching contract, which ends in June 2016, will not be renewed. Furthermore, he did not release any statements on who he thought was responsible for the loss ^[11] Instead, he said before the match that he will not change Afridi's position because he has been 'serving Pakistan for the last 20 years'. He added that changes will happen after the tournament but also added that the poor performance was from the whole team, except certain individuals.^[12]
