Top news of the day
The Indian team for the 2026 T20 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, will be announced today, Saturday, December 20th. A crucial selection committee meeting will be held at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai, chaired by Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar. The team will be announced at a press conference at 1:30 PM after the meeting.
All five selectors will be present at the meeting, and current captain Suryakumar Yadav is also expected to attend the press conference. However, discussions about the captaincy have intensified even before the team selection. This is due to Suryakumar Yadav's consistently poor form, which has raised concerns among the selectors.
