India has made a significant adjustment to its squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. This change comes just before their opening match against the United States, set for Saturday.
India’s Squad Revision
The Event Technical Committee of the ICC approved Mohammad Siraj as a replacement for Harshit Rana. Siraj’s inclusion is crucial as Rana will miss the tournament due to a knee injury.
Rana incurred this injury during a warm-up match against South Africa on February 4. His unavailability prompted the urgent need for a replacement to bolster the team’s bowling lineup.
