Good morning and welcome! The big day has arrived BCCI will announce India's T20 World Cup Squad today at 1.30 PM in PC. Will there be surprises, or will India stick with their expected squad?
India Team T20 World Cup Squad Announcement Live: India is set to announce its squad for the T20 World Cup 2026 on Saturday, December 20, with a press conference scheduled at 1:30 PM IST. The announcement comes a day after the final T20I against South Africa on December 18 in Ahmedabad. Despite having five more T20Is before the World Cup, India is expected to largely stick with the same core squad. The big selection questions revolve around the form of captain Suryakumar Yadav and vice-captain Shubman Gill. Other key decisions include the choice of wicket-keepers, with Jitesh Sharma and Sanju Samson in contention, while Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Dhruv Jurel could also be considered. Shreyas Iyer’s injury and absence since December 2023, along with Rinku Singh missing out again, add to the intrigue.
