India will announce their T20 World Cup 2026 squad on Saturday, with chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Suryakumar Yadav holding a press conference at 1:30 PM IST at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. The major focus is on the opener's slot battle between Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson, with Yashasvi Jaiswal's exclusion despite superior records raising questions. Concerns surround Gill and Yadav's poor form, while wicketkeeper choices between Jitesh Sharma, Samson, and potential returnees like Rishabh Pant remain uncertain. India has maintained a settled squad since the Asia Cup, with only minor changes expected. The tournament runs February 7-March 8, with India facing USA, Namibia, Pakistan, Netherlands in group stages.(PC: Goya Hills)
