Cricketnmore special

The T20 World Cup is a special event in the 2026 cricket calendar. While the story of India's previous T20 World Cup victory is still fresh in everyone's minds, another World Cup is already upon us.

One of the surprises of India's T20 World Cup 2026 squad is the absence of Yashasvi Jaiswal from the team. He was being counted as an automatic occupant of the spot vacated by Shubman Gill in the squad. Till a few days back Jaiswal was in the plans in both the white-ball formats and now he has been reduced to a standby status. The reasons may be manifold but the fact is that he is one of the most versatile batters India has for the international circuit. His superior white ball cricket impact has been ignored.
