India’s T20 World Cup 2026 Plan: The XI, the Squad & the Reset After February

India’s T20 World Cup 2026 Plan: The XI, the Squad & the Reset After February

With the T20 World Cup just two months away in February 2026, selection is no longer about experimentation — it’s about execution.

In this special episode of Serving a Six Appeal, I break down India’s T20 World Cup 2026 plan in full:

• The core playing XI
• The complete 15-man squad
• How pitch conditions change the combination
• And why one major name misses out altogether

I also explain why late changes before a World Cup rarely work — and what India must do immediately after the tournament ends.

The episode finishes with a clear vision for the post-2026 T20 reset, including the next-cycle XI

This isn’t about reputation.

It’s about roles, balance, conditions — and timing.
