New Delhi, 6 February 2026: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the official commentary panel for the upcoming Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. Veteran cricketers and experienced broadcasters from all over the world will give voice in this Mahakumbh, to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka. A total of 55 matches will be played in this tournament starting from 7th February, in which a mix of experience and youthful enthusiasm will be seen.

Five legendary names have been selected from India in the list announced by ICC. Which includes former coach Ravi Shastri, legend Sunil Gavaskar, Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa and renowned broadcaster Harsha Bhogle. This panel will bring exciting details of every moment on the field to the audience. The interesting thing is that, even though Bangladesh team has been eliminated from the World Cup, Athar Ali Khan, who is the voice of Bangladeshi cricket, has been given a place in this panel. The selection of a Bangladeshi commentator is considered important amid the current political controversies.

This time, not only retired players, but active players like South Africa’s Temba Bavuma and Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews will be seen as experts in the commentary box. Apart from this, stalwarts like Wasim Akram, Dale Steyn, Matthew Hayden and Nasir Hussain are also part of the panel.

Broadcasting partner Jio Star has also announced its panel of more than 100 experts. This time, for the first time in the World Cup, apart from English, Hindi, Gujarati, commentary will also be available in Bhojpuri and Haryanvi languages. 2024 World Cup champion Yuzvendra Chahal will start his commentary career with Geo Star. Along with him, star players like Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina and Anil Kumble will be seen giving analysis.
