The Indian team has won the T20 World Cup after nearly 17 years. After this victory, Indian legends Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja said goodbye to the T20 international format. Thus, three Indian legends will not play in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Now the T20 World Cup is to be played in 2026. But this list does not only include the names of Kohli, Rohit and Jadeja. There are many big names who will not be a part of the upcoming T20 World Cup. There are 11 players who will not be seen in the T20 World Cup 2026.
This Australian player retired
As soon as Australia was out of this T20 World Cup, David Warner announced his retirement. In this way, David Warner's nearly 15-year long international career came to an end. With this, David Warner will no longer be seen in the T20 World Cup 2026.
This player is less likely to play in the World Cup 2026
England's Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow are unlikely to play. Jos Buttler is around 34 years old, while Jonny Bairstow is around 35 years old, so it will not be easy for both of them to play in the T20 World Cup 2026. Apart from this, it will be a big challenge for Moeen Ali to play in the T20 World Cup 2026. Poor form along with age will become a problem for Moeen Ali.
There is little chance of this Pakistani player returning
Apart from this, questions have also been raised on the fitness of Pakistan's fast bowler Mohammad Aamir and all-rounder Imad Wasim. Also, both the players were disappointed in this World Cup. It is believed that now it will not be easy for Mohammad Aamir and Imad Wasim to return to the Pakistan team. Also, the T20 World Cup is to be played after about two years, in such a situation, apart from the form of both the players, age will also come in the way.
2 New Zealand players are less likely to play
There are 2 players from New Zealand in this list. Apart from Kane Williamson, it is difficult for Tim Southee to play in the upcoming T20 World Cup. In this T20 World Cup, the New Zealand team was eliminated in the first round itself. Kane Williamson and Tim Southee failed to make an impact. Kane Williamson is around 34 years old, while Tim Southee is 35 years old, so the chances of both the players playing in the T20 World Cup 2026 are very low.
Apart from this, it is difficult for South African wicketkeeper batsman Quinton de Kock to play in the T20 World Cup 2026. Quinton de Kock has said goodbye to international cricket, but he has decided to play in the South African team for this World Cup. Quinton de Kock has impressed with his batting, but now he is less likely to play for South Africa.
