The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is less than two months away. India, defending champions, will co-host the event along with Sri Lanka, who won the cup back in 2014.
A total of 20 teams, divided in four groups, will take part in the tournament, with Italy among first-time participants. Notably, a few squads have already been announced, while others are still taking time finalizing their combinations.
