T20 World Cup 2026: Complete updated list of players ruled out due to injuries & their replacements

Zimbabwe veteran Brendan Taylor and Ireland's Paul Stirling became the latest player to be ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2026, which is currently ongoing in India and Sri Lanka. While replacements came in before the tournament started, few teams had their plans jeopardised in the middle of the tournament, which started on February 7.

Among all Australia have been severly hit. After they lost Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins before the start of the T20 World Cup 2026, Australia are flying in Steve Smith as cover for Mitchell Marsh after the skipper suffered ‘testicular bleeding' following a groin injury while training. In all probability, Smith might replace Marsh in Australia's next game.

Meanwhile, co-hosts India and Sri Lanka too have been hit by injuries. While India lost pacer Harshit Rana, Sri Lanka suffered a double blow after Wanindu Hasaranga and Eshan Malinga were ruled out.

Similarly, New Zealand will not get the services of experienced all-rounder Michael Bracewell, following a calf injury. South Africa had also lost Donovan Ferreira and Tony de Zorzi even before the tournament began.
