T20 World Cup 2026: Cricket is a game of uncertainties, everything changes in a moment. What did not happen today suddenly happens tomorrow. Something similar has happened before the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup to be hosted by India and Sri Lanka. Before this Mahakumbh of cricket starting from 7th February, the fortunes of three such unfortunate players have brightened, who despite excellent performance, were dropped by their countries from the T20 World Cup squad.
These 3 players had good luck
Now these three players have made it to the T20 World Cup squad overnight, but for this, very bad things happened to 3 other players. Something happened to him, which should not happen to anyone on the playground. Actually, three players have suddenly been left out of the T20 World Cup squad after getting injured. In their place, three players have got a chance, who despite performing well were not able to make a place in the World Cup squad at that time.
He who has no one has God, this saying fits these three players. These players were ignored by their selectors and board and were left out of the World Cup squad but now these 3 players will get a chance to play in the T20 World Cup.

These three players are none other than Ryan Rickelton of South Africa, Tristan Stubbs and Kyle Jamieson of New Zealand. These three players have now been included in the T20 World Cup squad. South African batsmen Tony de Jorzi and Donovan Ferreira have been ruled out of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
