India’s former captain Rohit Sharma has been named the tournament ambassador for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.

India and Sri Lanka will co-host the upcoming edition.

Rohit, who led India to victory in the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, has been one of India’s most prolific T20I batsmen, scoring 4,231 runs at an average of 32.01 with a strike rate of 140.89.

He is also among the select few cricketers to have been part of two T20 World Cup-winning squads, first in the inaugural 2007 edition and most recently in 2024.

Speaking about being named the tournament ambassador, Rohit said, It is great to have the tournament back in India and for me to be associated once again with the tournament, this time in a new capacity as the Brand Ambassador.

"I wish all the players the very best and hope they have a memorable time and enjoy India’s hospitality while taking back a lot of memories."

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 will be played from 7 February-8 March, 2026.
