New Delhi, January 26

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 Delhi NCR trophy tour, part of the build-up to the global tournament, made a special stop at the Asian News International office on Monday, ahead of the marquee event beginning on February 7 and co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

The iconic silverware was greeted by ANI staff, who gathered to catch a glimpse of the trophy and shared excitement for the game's flagship event.

At the ANI office, the trophy was showcased in a special display, giving ANI staff a chance to take photos with it before the high-intensity competition. With preparations well underway and fans building anticipation, the trophy tour stop served as a reminder of the tournament's worldwide reach in the lead-up to next month's opening match.

The defending champions, Team India, are slotted in Group A alongside Namibia, the Netherlands, the USA, and arch-rivals Pakistan.

The Men in Blue will play their opening fixture against the USA on February 7, followed by their match against February 12. India will face arch-rivals Pakistan on February 15, followed by their final group stage fixture against the Netherlands.

Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, India took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the ongoing five-match T20I series with a rampant win in Guwahati that saw Abhishek Sharma record the second-fastest fifty by an Indian in T20I history. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side hasn't lost a T20I series since winning the 2024 T20 World Cup and would go into the 2026 edition in fine form.

Team India squad for ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Rinku Singh.

Exciting times for cricket fans! The trophy tour is a great initiative to connect with people before the big event. Just a small note for the article - it says "followed by their match against February 12." Seems like a typo, probably meant to say "against Namibia on Feb 12." Otherwise, great coverage!

All eyes on the India-Pakistan match on Feb 15! That's the real blockbuster of the group stage. The squad looks balanced, but I hope the middle order is tested properly before the knockouts. Jai Hind!

Defending champions going in with an unbeaten series run! What a time to be a cricket fan in India. Suryakumar Yadav leading from the front, Bumrah with the ball... feeling very confident. Let's bring the cup home again!

As someone who recently moved to Delhi for work, it's incredible to see how cricket unites everyone here. The energy is palpable. Hoping to catch a match at the stadium if I can get tickets!

Good to see the trophy getting a tour. Builds connection with the fans. My only concern is the workload on players like Bumrah and Hardik with back-to-back tournaments. Hope the management rotates them wisely in the bilaterals.
