Confirmed, provisional and preliminary squads announced for 5 teams
Check the squads
The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka is just around the corner and all the 20 qualified teams have begun their preparations for the showpiece event in February-March.
This marks only the second T20 World Cup to feature 20 teams. India, co-hosting the event with Sri Lanka, enters as the reigning champions with a vastly different squad from the one that lifted the trophy in 2024.
All eyes will be on Suryakumar Yadav's captaincy and how he operates this young side, which has been sensational since the overhaul in June 2024. Under Surya's captaincy, the Indian team has not lost a single T20I series.
The Men in Blue also captured the Asia Cup 2025 in the T20I format after beating arch-rivals Pakistan in the finale. The Indians will be majorly challenged by sides like Australia, South Africa, England and New Zealand in the later stages of the tournament.
Surya and co will be facing Namibia, Pakistan, USA and the Netherlands in the Group stage. India's upcoming 5 T20I matches against New Zealand will serve as a very good preparatory series.
Below are all the squads that have been officially announced so far for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
