USA finalize squad for 2026 T20 World Cup

USA have finalized their 15-man squad for the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, becoming the final team to confirm their roster. Plans were disrupted when former captain Aaron Jones was charged with match-fixing by the ICC, effectively ruling him out of contention. This opened a spot for former Sri Lankan international Shehan Jayasuriya, who faces Pakistan in his birth country.

Notable inclusions are leg-spinner Mohammad Mohsin and allrounder Shubham Ranjane. However, high-profile batter Unmukt Chand was omitted as selectors favor youth, highlighted by rising star Sai Mukkamalla and Sanjay Krishnamurthy. Surprisingly, 2025 MLC MVP Rushil Ugarkar was excluded despite his impressive domestic heroics.

Captain Monank Patel leads a familiar core including Saurabh Netravalkar and Ali Khan, aiming to replicate their historic 2024 success. Placed in Group A, USA begin their campaign against the co-hosts India in Mumbai on February 7, followed by tough clashes with Pakistan, Netherlands, and Namibia.
