T20 World Cup 2026: 3 England batters to watch out for

The T20 World Cup 2026 is set to begin within the next 10 days, and teams are in the final stages of preparations, fine-tuning their squads and experimenting with combinations to find the perfect balance. England, one of the most formidable white-ball teams in the world, will once again be among the favourites to challenge for the title as they look to add another trophy to their cabinet.

With the modern T20 format increasingly dominated by aggressive batting and power-hitting, England’s strength lies in their explosive and versatile batting lineup. Here are three England batters to watch out for in the T20 World Cup 2026

Harry Brook

Harry Brook, who has been promoted as England’s white-ball captain, has impressed everyone with his calm leadership and destructive batting ability. He is known for his dominance against seamers, and is particularly strong down the ground and through the covers. He is also capable of playing innovative shots when required, making him a dangerous middle-order presence.

With the added responsibility of captaincy, Brook will be eager to lead from the front on the biggest stage. In 52 T20Is, he has scored 1012 runs at an impressive strike rate of 151.72, including five half-centuries.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler is arguably England’s first true T20 superstar. His impact on England’s white-ball success has been immense over the years. He is known for his subtle hand movements, clean power, ability to handle pressure, and is a proven match-winner in high-stakes chases.

The right-handed batter is often described as a 360-degree batter alongside legends like AB de Villiers, Suryakumar Yadav, and led England to their second T20 World Cup title. In 144 T20Is, he has scored 3869 runs at a strike rate of 148.97, including one century and 28 half-centuries.

Phil Salt

Phil Salt has made a name for himself through strong performances in the domestic circuit and across global T20 leagues. An aggressive opener, Salt is known for taking on bowlers from the very first over, putting pressure on the opposition without hesitation.

In 50 T20Is, he has scored 1540 runs at a blistering strike rate of 168.12, including four centuries and seven half-centuries. With his current form and attacking mindset, Salt could be a major threat, especially in Indian conditions, where powerplay dominance often sets the tone for big totals.
