Speaking exclusively on JioHotstar, Tom Moody and former England captain Eoin Morgan analysed India’s T20 World Cup 2026 squad. Notably, India’s squad for the mega event was recently announced.

"One of the issues with Indian cricket is that there is too much talent. There are simply too many options. It's a wonderful problem to have, but it becomes a nightmare for a selector or a captain," Tom Moody said on Jio Hotstar. 

On the other hand, Eoin Morgan asserted that in white-ball cricket, bowling attack and defending low scores boost the team’s confidence, making Team India a tough opponent in the World Cup.

"In white-ball cricket, bowling attacks win you tournaments. When you can defend low scores, it creates a belief within the team that you can win a game from anywhere. That belief becomes a big threat for any team in a World Cup," Eoin Morgan stated.

India’s T20 World Cup squad was announced by BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia at the board's headquarters earlier this month, in the presence of captain Suryakumar Yadav and chief selector Ajit Agarkar. 

While Shubman Gill was axed, Ishan Kishan replaced him for the backup opener’s slot. On the other hand, Jitesh Sharma has been axed, with Rinku Singh taking up the finisher’s spot. India is placed in Group A alongside Namibia, the Netherlands, Pakistan, and the United States.
