The upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup will commence on February 7 and conclude on March 9. 20 teams will be fighting it out to win the coveted prize. India are the current holders and one of the strongest contenders to lift the title. Other teams like Australia, England, and South Africa are also among the favourites to go the distance.
Most of the teams have announced their provisional squads for the marquee event. In this article, let's take a look at three players who missed the previous edition in 2024 but are set to feature in the global extravaganza in 2026.
Ishan Kishan made a comeback into the Indian team during the five-match T20I series against New Zealand. His last appearance for the Men in Blue before this came way back in 2023. The left-handed wicketkeeper-batter's maiden appearance in the T20 World Cup was in 2021 in the United Arab Emirates.
