Players who played all the T20 World Cup tournaments and missed this year’s 2022 tournament
The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 is just a few days away. With less than 30 days left for the biggest T20I event of the year, all 16 teams have announced their squads for the tournament. There are a few players like Rohit Sharma and Shakib Al Hasan who have played in all the T20 World Cups and will play in the 2022 tournament as well.
Interestingly, both Rohit and Shakib are the captains of their countries for the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup. However, the following four players who played in every edition of the T20 World Cup from 2007 to 2021 will miss the 2022 T20 World Cup.

It has not yet been officially announced whether Chris Gayle has retired from international cricket or not. However, the Jamaican star has not been selected in the West Indies squad for the T20I series in Australia. He was part of the team last year and also took the wicket of Mitchell Marsh in their match against Australia.

Former Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah led the country in the T20 edition held before this World Cup. However, his name was not included in the squad announced by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. The team will miss his experience in the batting department.

Virat Kohli half-century and bowlers help RCB retain IPL title
Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully defended their IPL crown with a composed five-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 final, powered by a masterful unbeaten 75 from Virat Kohli and a disciplined bowling performance.
After being asked to bat first, Gujarat Titans struggled to build momentum against a relentless RCB attack and were restricted to 155 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs.
The Titans lost both openers early as Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed Sai Sudharsan and skipper Shubman Gill inside the first four overs. Nishant Sindhu briefly resisted with 20, but wickets fell at regular intervals as RCB tightened their grip on the contest.
Washington Sundar stood firm amid the collapse, producing a fighting unbeaten 50 off 37 deliveries that featured five boundaries. However, he received little support from the middle order. Rasikh Salam emerged as the pick of the bowlers with impressive figures of 3 for 27, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood claimed two wickets apiece. Krunal Pandya also chipped in with a crucial scalp as Gujarat finished below a par total.
In reply, RCB got off to a flying start through Venkatesh Iyer, who blasted 32 from just 16 balls. Although the defending champions lost a few quick wickets in the middle overs, Kohli anchored the chase with another vintage innings under pressure.
The veteran star struck nine fours and three sixes in his unbeaten 75 off 42 balls, controlling the innings with a blend of aggression and composure. Rajat Patidar contributed 15, while Tim David added a valuable 24 before falling with the target in sight.
Kohli then guided RCB home alongside wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma, who remained unbeaten on 11, as Bengaluru reached 161 for 5 in just 18 overs.
The victory secured back-to-back IPL titles for RCB and once again highlighted Kohli’s enduring class on the biggest stage.
Brief Scores:
Gujarat Titans 155/8 in 20 overs (Washington Sundar 50; Rasikh Salam 3/27, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/29, Josh Hazlewood 2/37) lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru 161/5 in 18 overs (Virat Kohli 75, Venkatesh Iyer 32, Tim David 24; Rashid Khan 2/25) by five wickets.
