The Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2026 will be officially announced on Saturday, December 20, during a BCCI meeting in Mumbai.
The announcement will also include the squads for the upcoming ODI and T20 series against New Zealand, which is the last series before the T20 World Cup.
A press conference will be held at 1:30 PM after the announcement, with chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Suryakumar Yadav addressing questions.
Gill missed the fourth T20 against South Africa due to a toe injury, and his fitness will be a major consideration for the selectors.
If Gill is unavailable, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal are likely candidates to fill his spot in the squad.
Fast bowlers in contention include Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj, with Mohammed Shami also being considered due to his strong domestic form.
