Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody highlighted India's selection challenge for the T20 World Cup 2026, citing an abundance of talent as a "nightmare" for selectors and captains. The recently announced squad sees Suryakumar Yadav leading, with Shubman Gill's exclusion due to form and team combination being a notable surprise. Ishan Kishan returns as a backup opener and wicketkeeper, while the middle order and bowling attack offer numerous strategic options, further complicating selection decisions.
