The West Indies cricket selectors have announced a well-balanced 15-player squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled to be held in India and Sri Lanka. Shai Hope has been named captain for the tournament and will lead a side packed with explosive batters, powerful all-rounders and a varied bowling attack. Here’s the full list of the West Indies squad for the T20 World Cup 2026:
Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, and Rovman Powell form the core of the West Indies batting unit, offering power and experience through the middle order. The all-round depth is a major strength, with batting all-rounders Sherfane Rutherford and Quentin Sampson adding flexibility, while the bowling all-round group of Jason Holder, Roston Chase, Gudakesh Motie, and Romario Shepherd provides balance in both departments. The wicket-keeping responsibilities are led by Shai Hope (Captain), with additional support from Johnson Charles. The bowling attack features a mix of pace and control through Matthew Forde, Akeal Hosein, Shamar Joseph, and Jayden Seales, giving the side variety across conditions.
