India squad announcement: India are set for a major selection day in Mumbai as the Men’s Selection Committee meets at the BCCI headquarters on Saturday to pick multiple squads across senior and India A assigments. The meeting will decide India’s teams for the two-match T20I series against Ireland, the five-match T20I series against England, the 2026 Asian Games in Japan and India A’s multi-day matches in Sri Lanka.
The announcement will be followed by a press conference at 1 PM IST, with chief selector Ajit Agarkar and BCCI honorary secretary Devajit Saikia addressing the media. The senior T20I squads will draw the most attention, with India expected to lay out a clearer roadmap for its white-ball plans. The Asian Games selection will also be closely watched, given the likelihood of squad management, workload calls and possible opportunities for fringe players. The India A squad for Sri Lanka adds another layer to the day, especially from a red-ball depth perspective. With four squads on the table, the announcement could shape India’s immediate international calendar and offer clues about the selectors’ wider planning.
