England are one of the favourites to win the trophy in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. They had given a brilliant performance in the previous edition in 2024, reaching the semi-finals, where they lost to India. Having won the trophy in the 2010 and 2022 editions, England is eyeing its third title in the history of this tournament.
The two-time champions have formed a strong squad for the T20 World Cup under captain Harry Brook, who will be a crucial middle-order batter for the side. Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Tom Banton, Jos Buttler, and Phil Salt are a few other strong batters in their squad.
While Jofra Archer will lead the pace attack, Adil Rashid will have the responsibility of the spin unit. The remarkable thing is that the two-time champion team boasts several star all-rounders, including Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, and Jacob Bethell.
India and Sri Lanka are the hosts of the T20 World Cup. Notably, England will play all of their matches of the league stage in India. Out of four games, two will take place in Mumbai and two in Kolkata.
