Ireland reveal 15-member squad for T20 World Cup 2026
Ireland have unveiled their 15-member squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, set to be jointly hosted by Sri Lanka and India. Ireland have once again placed their faith in Paul Stirling, who will continue to lead the side. Wicketkeeper-batter Lorcan Tucker has been named vice-captain. The squad also features some of the proven match-winners as Ireland prepare for their ninth appearance at the global event. Ireland are in Group B alongside Australia, Sri Lanka, Oman, and Zimbabwe.
"To say we are very much looking forward to this T20 World Cup is an under-statement, After a memorable 2022 tournament, we probably weren’t at our best in 2024 – and have been waiting to rectify that ever since," Ireland national men's selector Andrew White said.
"There is no doubt we are in a highly competitive group, which includes playing the tournament hosts but we have played these sides recently enough in previous editions of this tournament, and will go into these matches with no fear," he said.
Ahead of the World Cup, Ireland will be playing a three-match T20I series against Italy, followed by a two-match T20I series against the UAE later this month.
Ireland squad: Paul Stirling (c), Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Ben Calitz, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Matthew Humphreys, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy, Harry Tector, Tim Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Ben White, Craig Young
