T20 World Cup 2026: India Squad to Be Announced Today; Rinku Singh Likely to Miss Out

BCCI to announce India’s T20 World Cup 2026 squad today; reports suggest Rinku Singh may not be part of the final team.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to release the official squad for the T20 World Cup 2026 later on today. As fans are beginning to speculate about it, early reports suggest that India’s preferred hero-worshiping finisher, Rinku Singh, might be shockingly kept on hold to feature in the team.
Rinku, arguably responsible for some smashing innings over the last couple of years, was widely considered a favorite contender for the middle-order position. However, the tricky part involves higher-profile candidates pipping Singh due to rationale and the escalating balance of the squad. Reportedly, the management appears to be showing partiality toward the aspect of cricketers capable of offering multi-dimensional skills, including bowling down the order.
Looking to end an infamous drought without an ICC trophy, India's panel of selectors is set to lean more on consistency, current form, fitness, and adaptability to Australian conditions for the tournament.
On March 18, the completion of the squad list will reveal whether India takes with them the experienced core or renovates with a young squad heading into the global event.
