I've started a new thread for the 2026 season, and I've started it now because the T20 World Cup starts a week today. (And in fact 2 months and we will be chatting county cricket red ball)
In a group with Italy, Nepal and Scotland and a pretty solid squad I expect that we will progress beyond the group stage. After that who knows and will depend on fitness. Curran and Salt played very well in the first game warm up game v Sri Lanka but tougher tests are ahead. Anyway, here is the squad for England (albeit still provisional).
Harry Brook (captain), Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Josh Tongue, Luke Wood.
Be relying on Archer to stay fit (as per usual) - But hope that Brook finally stands up as captain, and Banton and Jacks perfom like we know they can at county level. If all that clicks should be a good watch. |  | | |  |

After the superb win yesterday, this went down the list but another superb win today by England although there was some pretty wayward bowling with Curran and Overton going at 15's.
But if Brook continues this batting form, and Butler and Banton did well today, then well within a shout of the T20 World Cup | | | |

I think we have a decent chance, especially if Adil Rashid keeps fit. What a servant he has been - and to me he is bowling better than ever. Brilliant again today. Would still like to see more of Rehan Ahmed but they just don't seem to want to give him a long run. |  | | |

Good effort by the bowlers to defend that low England total.
Curran got us back into it with Bethell doing well with the wickets
On a side note, a great England U19 semi final v Australia today. Went right to the wire but England are in the final on Friday. Thomas Rew, (younger brother of James) scored 110. Definitely one for the future and already looking a bigger prospect than his brother.
Australia got hammered in record T20 defeat by Pakistan too. Shame that Bangladesh and Pakistan have been impacted by politics because of the stupid ICC | | | |
