The former captain of the England cricket team, Michael Vaughan, has predicted four teams for the semi-final stage during the 2026 edition of the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, which is scheduled to begin on February 07. Notably, Vaughan has left out the South Africa side, who reached the finals in the previous edition of the event and ended as the runners-up, losing to India.

Sharing his prediction on X (formerly known as Twitter) on February 02, Michael Vaughan wrote, “My 4 T20 World Cup semifinalists will be- India, England, New Zealand, & Australia.” The 20-team competition will follow the same format used in the last season and will feature nine of the top 10-ranked T20I teams.

Bangladesh, however, will not be part of the competition after the ICC decided to replace them with Scotland. The issue began after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to ban the left-arm pacer, Mustafizur Rahman, from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, while Bangladesh decided to boycott the event due to their refusal to travel to India for security reasons.

Michael Vaughan picks semifinalists for T20 World Cup 2026

The group stage will have four groups of five teams each, with every team playing the others once. The top two teams from each of these four groups will move into the Super 8 stage. Based on the ICC seedings, the eight qualified teams will be divided into the Super 8 groups.

My 4 T20 World Cup semi finalists will be … India , England , NZ & Australia … #OnOn #India

— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) February 2, 2026

India will begin their campaign against United States of America (USA) on February 07 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, while England, after preparing for the Sri Lanka home T20I series, will start the tournament against Nepal on February 08 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Meanwhile, Australia, after a 3-0 series defeat in Pakistan, will land in Sri Lanka and lock horns with Ireland at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy on February 11. On the other hand, New Zealand will face Afghanistan in their opening clash against Afghanistan on February 08 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

There has been much debate about Trent Boult’s absence from New Zealand’s roster for the T20 World Cup 2026, which was sparked by the lack of any new developments in terms of his retirement from playing international cricket as of June 2024. As such, when Boult announced his retirement, it meant he was no longer eligible to be considered for selection; therefore, there was no way he could participate in the T20 World Cup 2026 even though he had extensive international cricket experience and had demonstrated multiple times previously his ability to win matches in explosive and high-pressure environments.

Boult, who is now 34, chose to leave the international game and focus on other aspects of his life. Because of this, Boult did not come into contention when selectors were putting the final touches on New Zealand’s roster for the T20 World Cup 2026; thus, the Black Caps had to resort to filling out the bowling line-up from youth and/or recent addition selections to build an effective battery of fast bowlers in advance of the World Cup.

Before his retirement in January 2021, Boult represented New Zealand in the T20 World Cup as part of their group stage campaign in a match against Papua New Guinea. Boult was removed from New Zealand’s central contract list in 2022 after requesting additional time to spend with his family and for permission to play in franchise tournaments around the globe. Subsequently, a new contract was negotiated to reflect that Boult would be stepping back from full-time international play.

Trent Boult continues to play in franchise cricket

In recent years, New Zealand has been unlucky in that they have not had Trent Boult available. He has been very successful in T20 franchises where he continues to play well and has performed great in all franchise teams from the Mumbai Indians to teams from other leagues around the globe. Boult's ability to adapt to different conditions and perform at a high level has demonstrated his continued level of quality, outside of an international level, and this makes his absence from the New Zealand side even more significant.

Boult is also considered one of the more dangerous bowlers in T20 cricket and consistently strikes early during the powerplay and executes the delivery at the death of the innings when no runs are scored and helps win matches as happened with them many times. Boult has played some of the world's more prestigious leagues including the IPL, MLC, SA20 and recently The Hundred. While New Zealand has formed a very solid pace attack to take his place; because of Boult's experience and tactical knowledge, he would have added so much more value to the New Zealand bowling attack.

The 31-year-old left-arm spinner, Jayden Lennox, who made his international debut during the second ODI of the three-match series against India at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, replaced leg spinner, Adhitya Ashok, in their playing 11 for the must-win encounter after facing a four-wicket defeat in the opening clash in Vadodara. 

It has been an interesting life for the left-arm spinner, who played 54 List A matches and has dismissed 69 batters, besides his 224 runs in 28 innings. Jayden Lennox's LinkedIn profile went viral on the Internet after the visiting captain, Michael Bracewell, confirmed his inclusion in the playing XI.

It reveals that Lennox has done a diploma in Science and Technology, Environmental Science, and geography from the massive university and has been working as a green keeper at Palmerstone Golf Course in the Northern Territory, Australia, for one year between 2018 and 2019.

Know debutantant Jayden Lennox from IND vs NZ 2nd ODI

Lennox also worked as a field technician for Aquatic Research Limited for a couple of years, as an assembly technician at Hustler Equipment from 2020 to 2023, and was a part-time laboratory technician at ARL from April to September two years ago. In his professional cricket playing career, he has been part of the Central District Cricket Association for the last seven years.

In 21 first-class cricket games, the left-arm spinner has picked up 48 wickets at an average of 37.12, thanks to his one five-wicket haul, which ended up being the best figures of 5/66 in an innings. In the case of the T20 career, he has earned 60 wickets at an average of under 19 and an economy rate of 7.42.

During the Rajkot ODI, with the ground being known to be better for the batters, the left-arm spinner used the pace variations brilliantly, giving away runs at an economy rate of under four in seven overs. That put massive pressure on the batters to release their pressure from the other end, which ended up resulting in wickets.

Brief Scores: India 174/4 (Shubman Gill 56, Kritian Clarke 3/37) vs New Zealand. 

Despite a plethora of talent, India continues to have a cutthroat competition because of the massive population. With limited opportunities on offer in the national side, not everyone can make their careers in the game, which has seen many of them migrate to a different country and play the game there. There is also a section of people who move to foreign countries for a different purpose but pick up cricket later as a profession.

Many cricket-playing nations in the world have players of Indian origin in their set-up. Not only are they part of the group, but many renowned Indian players have played at the highest level for countries such as New Zealand. With the ongoing ODI series between India and New Zealand, another such player has played the game.

A look at the India-born players to play for New Zealand cricket ft. Adithya Ashok

1.   Dipak Patel

The Nairobi-born Dipak Patel began his cricketing career in England for Worcestershire. Despite his impressive all-around performance, the Indian Origin player did not get a chance for the three lines before being migrated to New Zealand, where he got to play for 10 years and scored 1823 runs in international cricket, besides picking up 120 wickets in 112 games of ODIs and Tests. An off-spinner, Dipak made his debut for New Zealand in 1987 and represented them in three World Cups till 1996.

2.   Ish Sodhi

The leg spinner, who represented the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, has been a part of the Kiwi side for 12 years. He has done an impressive performance in the shortest format of the game with 157 wickets in 132 matches at an economy rate of under eight and an average of 22.34, thanks to the four four-wicket hauls.

3.   Jeetan Patel

The current England bowling coach and the former New Zealand off spinner, Jeetan Patel, was born and brought up in Wellington, but his parents are from India.

6.   Ronnie Hira

Roni Hira is yet another Indian origin spinner who has represented the New Zealand cricket team.

7.   Tarun Nethula

He was part of Chennai’s Spin Academy for two years, where he earned so many scales about the leg spin as he has part of just two ODIs and one T20I for the Blackcaps. 

Cricket excitement is growing in Vadodara ahead of the India vs New Zealand three-match ODI series. A video shared on social media shows members of the New Zealand cricket team going for a calm morning walk in the city before the first One-Day International on January 11.

Security Debate Gains Attention

The videos of Black Caps players walking freely in Vadodara have also brought attention to Bangladesh’s security concerns in India. The Bangladesh Cricket Board has raised worries about player safety during travel and has asked for the tournament to be moved to Sri Lanka. These concerns became stronger after Mustafizur Rahman was dropped from the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for IPL 2026.

Bangladesh officials said the BCCI decision shows the environment may not be fully safe. Sports Advisor Asif Nazrul stated that player safety and national pride cannot be ignored.
