3 Indian players who played 2024 T20 World Cup but are missing in 2026
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, is scheduled to kick off on February 7, and the top-20 teams across the world will fight for the ultimate prize.
2. Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s absence has raised a few eyebrows, considering he was part of the previous T20 World Cup squad and remains one of the finest young talents India has. The aggressive left-hander was seen as a long-term prospect in the shortest format and also played the backup opening batter to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's pair in the triumphant 2024 edition.
However, inconsistent form and the emergence of other top-order stars like Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Ishan Kishan have resulted in Jaiswal missing out this time, despite being an active and exciting T20 batter. He played his last T20I against Sri Lanka in July 2024.
