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.

  1. Chris Gayle

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.

  1. Dwayne Bravo

Dwayne Bravo announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket after last year’s Middle East tournament. The all-rounder is one of the most successful T20 cricketers of all time.

  1. Mushfiqur Rahim

Veteran Bangladesh wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim has been questioned over his form and scoring consistency in the T20I series. After his poor form in the 2022 Asia Cup, Rahim announced his retirement from T20Is to focus more on ODIs and Tests.

  1. Mahmudullah

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.

Wanindu Hasaranga Ruled Out of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Due to Hamstring Injury

Published

By

Sri Lanka’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign has suffered a massive setback, with star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga ruled out of the remainder of the tournament due to a hamstring injury.

Medical scans conducted after Sri Lanka’s opening match against Ireland confirmed that the leg-spinning all-rounder will require several weeks of rehabilitation, effectively ending his participation in the global showpiece event.

Hasaranga, a central figure in Sri Lanka’s T20 plans over the past few years, sustained the injury during the early stages of the tournament. His absence leaves a significant void in both the bowling and lower-middle-order batting departments.

Widely regarded as one of the most dangerous T20 bowlers in world cricket, Hasaranga’s impact in ICC tournaments has been remarkable. With 40 wickets, he currently stands as the second-highest wicket-taker in T20 World Cup history — a statistic that underlines the scale of the blow to the co-hosts.

Beyond the numbers, Hasaranga’s ability to break partnerships in crucial moments and provide quick runs under pressure has made him indispensable to Sri Lanka’s balance in white-ball cricket.

Attention now turns to potential replacements. Leg-spinner Dushan Hemantha is expected to be named as Hasaranga’s replacement, pending official approval from Sri Lanka Cricket and the ICC Event Technical Committee. While Hemantha offers promise and attacking intent, stepping into the shoes of Sri Lanka’s premier match-winner will be a formidable challenge.

As of now, Sri Lanka Cricket is yet to issue a formal statement confirming the squad alteration.

With the tournament still in its early stages, Sri Lanka must now regroup quickly. The onus will fall on the remaining senior bowlers to shoulder added responsibility as the hosts attempt to keep their World Cup ambitions alive without one of their most influential players

“I Just Wanted to Score a Few Boundaries” – Kamindu Mendis Stars as Sri Lanka Beat Ireland in T20 World Cup Opener

Published

Sri Lanka’s decision to draft in Kamindu Mendis at the last moment proved inspired, as the all-rounder produced a match-turning knock to guide the hosts to a 20-run victory over Ireland in their opening match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday.

Coming in with Sri Lanka in trouble at 86 for 4, Kamindu counter-attacked with a blistering 44 off just 19 deliveries, striking four boundaries and two sixes to swing momentum firmly in the hosts’ favour. His innings transformed a faltering batting effort into a competitive total of 163.

I just wanted to score a few boundaries and put a partnership with Kusal Mendis

Kusal was outstanding today. He deserves a lot of credit. We wanted someone to bat through the innings.

Kusal Mendis played the anchor role to perfection, remaining unbeaten on a composed half-century and ensuring Sri Lanka batted through their 20 overs — something that looked unlikely during the middle phase of the innings.

Sri Lanka’s bowling unit then delivered a disciplined performance, led by their spin trio of Maheesh Theekshana, Wanindu Hasaranga and Dunith Wellalage, who shared seven wickets to derail Ireland’s chase. Hasaranga claimed three scalps, taking his overall T20 World Cup wicket tally to 40 — second only to Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan (50).

There was a brief scare for Sri Lanka when Hasaranga limped off after his second over, sparking concern over his fitness. However, the skipper returned to complete his spell, easing fears ahead of the remaining group matches.

Ireland showed early promise, with George Dockrell returning impressive figures of 2 for 17 and a solid 49-run partnership between Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector keeping them in the contest. But once spin was introduced in tandem, the visitors struggled to maintain momentum.

From 105 for 2, Ireland lost wickets in quick succession and were eventually bowled out for 143 in 19.5 overs, with Matheesha Pathirana picking up two wickets in the final over.

They got about 15 runs too many,” admitted Ireland captain Paul Stirling.

We were a bit sloppy in the field and we’ve got plenty of work to do before the next game. Spin is going to play a big role in this tournament, and that’s something we need to adapt to quickly.

Co-hosting the 20-team tournament alongside defending champions India, Sri Lanka could not have asked for a better start. The victory not only earned crucial points but also injected confidence into a campaign that carries high expectations on home soil
