India's preparations for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026 have entered a decisive phase, and this time, the approach is entirely different. Instead of treating every match as a trial ground and constantly rotating players, the Indian selectors are ready to prepare one set of cricketers for the event.
The defending champions and the national selectors now want continuity, not chaos, heading into the showpiece event at home and in Sri Lanka next year. The Men in Blue are all set to play five T20Is against South Africa next month, and the team will be the same that will play in the mega event.
Selectors set to finalise the same 15 for the New Zealand series and the ICC T20 World Cup 2026As reported by PTI, the Ajit Agarkar-led Indian selection committee is leaning towards picking the same 15 players for both the five-match T20I series against New Zealand and for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
