The T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in February next year. This time, it will be hosted by India and Sri Lanka. Team India has already been announced for this ICC tournament, and now the other teams are gradually being announced. Meanwhile, the England and Wales Cricket Board has also announced its team just a short while ago. Notably, the team’s leadership has been handed over to Harry Brook, who was banned from the IPL.
