India T20 World Cup 2026 Squad Announcement Date, Time: Defending champions India will look to be the first team ever to retain the T20 World Cup crown when the 20-team extravaganza rolls into India an d Sri Lanka on February 7. In order to do so, the selection panel will look to choose the strongest 15-man squad available with the contingent set to be announced on Saturday at 1.30 PM in Mumbai.
There are unlikely to be any surprises with the selectors likely to go for the squad which faced South Africa in the 5-match T20I series. However, a big concern heading into selection day are the ordinary forms of vice captain Shubman Gill and captain Suryakumar Yadav, both of whom are enduring a rough patch. With Sanju Samson looking in good touch and Yashasvi Jaiswal waiting in the wings, it’ll be interesting to see how the squad shapes up.
India are in Group A alongside Pakistan, Namibia, The Netherlands and the USA. India will play the opener against the USA on February 7 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. They will move to the national capital to face Namibia on February 12 before heading to Colombo to take on Pakistan on February 15. Suryakumar Yadav & Co will then head to Ahmedabad to play their last league game against The Netherlands on February 18.
