Now India has to play the next match against Canada and after this the Super 8 schedule will start. However, in the meantime, talks have also intensified regarding the T20 World Cup 2026. The news is that teams like Pakistan and New Zealand will not be able to participate in this tournament. Let's know how?

Pakistan-New Zealand out of T20 World Cup 2026

Actually, the T20 World Cup 2026 tournament is to be played under the hosting of India and Sri Lanka. Only those teams will be able to participate in this tournament, which will qualify for the Super 8. India and Sri Lanka have qualified due to being the hosts but the rest of the teams will have to work hard for it.

However, it seems difficult to say whether teams like New Zealand and Pakistan will be able to play in the T20 World Cup 2026 or not, as the Kiwi team is already out while Pakistan is also almost out as this team has won one out of 3 matches and the next match is against Ireland. Also, Babar's team is also dependent on other teams. In such a situation, if Pakistan loses against Ireland or the match is canceled due to rain, then Pakistan will hardly be able to play the next World Cup.

This is how teams can play T20 World Cup 2026

It is worth noting that if big teams like Pakistan, New Zealand and England are not able to play Super 8 this season, then they will have only one option left and with that option these teams will be able to play the T20 World Cup 2026 tournament. If big teams like Pakistan, New Zealand and England want to play the next tournament, then they will have to play against the qualifiers.

After winning the qualifier matches, these teams can play the next tournament and if they lose in the qualifiers too, then like West Indies, these teams can also be out of a big tournament like the World Cup. West Indies was out of the 2023 World Cup.

Apart from Sri Lanka and India, these teams have qualified so far

Let us tell you that Sri Lanka and India have already got the advantage of being hosts. Along with this, there are 3 more teams so far who have qualified for the T20 World Cup 2026. These three teams are Australia, West Indies and South Africa. India has also qualified for the Super 8 and has the advantage of hosting while Sri Lanka is out but they have got the advantage of being hosts. At the same time, Scotland, Bangladesh and Afghanistan are also in the race. Now it remains to be seen which other teams make it to the Super 8.
