2026 Men's T20 World Cup squads
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup was the tenth edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, a biennial world cup for cricket in Twenty20 International (T20I) format organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It was co-hosted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India and Sri Lanka Cricket from 7 February to 8 March 2026.[2][3] A total of twenty teams competed in 55 matches across five venues in India and three in Sri Lanka.[4] Each team was allowed a maximum squad size of 15 players and was required to submit the provisional squad to the ICC by 8 January 2026. The teams were allowed to make changes to the squads until 31 January 2026.[5] Any change after this required permission from the ICC's technical committee.[6]
On 20 December 2025, co-host India became the first team to announce its squad for the tournament. England and Oman announced their squads on 30 December and Afghanistan on 31 December. Australia announced its squad on 1 January 2026; South Africa and Zimbabwe on 2 January; Namibia on 3 January; Nepal on 6 January; New Zealand on 7 January; Ireland on 9 January; the Netherlands on 12 January; Canada on 14 January; Italy on 17 January; Pakistan on 25 January; Scotland and the West Indies on 26 January; and the United Arab Emirates and the United States on 30 January. Co-host Sri Lanka became the final team to announce its squad for the tournament on 2 February.
