Fresh off their historic ODI World Cup triumph on home soil last year, India’s women have now set their sights on an even more elusive prize, the T20 World Cup, at the 2026 edition in England and Wales from June 12 to July 5.
Harmanpreet Kaur has retained the captaincy for the tournament, with Smriti Mandhana is continuing as her deputy.

The 10th edition of the biennial event is the biggest yet, featuring 12 teams, two more than the previous edition.
The sides have been divided evenly into two groups of six, with the top two from each group advancing directly to the semi-finals.
