ICC T20 World Cup 2026: 2024 is about to come to an end, and the calendar year fo 2025 marks the start of an epic adventure for the associate nations, as they dream to seal a place in the mega event that goes by the name of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.

India and Sri Lanka are already confirmed participants. Therefore, all the teams in the world are going to fight for the 18 remaining spots.
