ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Squad: The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 is all set to make history, and cricket fans couldn’t be more excited. Hosted by England and Wales from June 12 to July 5, this edition will be the biggest the tournament has ever seen — featuring 12 teams and 33 matches packed into 24 action-filled days. From established powerhouses to fresh faces, the competition promises to deliver some truly memorable moments on English soil.
Defending champions New Zealand will be looking to hold onto their crown, but the challenge ahead is anything but easy. They’ll face stiff competition from some of the strongest sides in women’s cricket — India, Australia, England, and South Africa among them. Adding to the excitement, the Netherlands will be making their tournament debut, bringing a new energy to what is already shaping up to be a fiercely competitive field.
The tournament gets underway with hosts England facing Sri Lanka at the iconic Edgbaston, and the journey culminates at the home of cricket — Lord’s Cricket Ground in London — where the grand final will be held. The semi-finals are set to take place at The Oval, another legendary venue. With seven major venues hosting matches and a record prize pool of USD 8.76 million on the line, this edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup is poised to be a landmark moment for women’s cricket worldwide.
