The International Cricket Council (ICC) has unveiled its Team of the Tournament for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, with Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan earning a place after an outstanding individual campaign.
The lineup was selected by a panel of experts including West Indies legend Ian Bishop, former England captain Eoin Morgan, commentator Natalie Germanos, ICC representative Gaurav Saxena and senior Sri Lankan journalist Rex Clementine.
Although Pakistan’s tournament run ended in the Super Eight stage, Farhan stood out as one of the competition’s most consistent performers.

The 29-year-old amassed a record 383 runs in seven matches, the highest tally by any batter in a single T20 World Cup edition. He also made history by becoming the first player to score two centuries in one tournament, including a match-winning hundred against Sri Lanka in the final Super Eight clash.
Meanwhile, India’s Sanju Samson was named Player of the Tournament for his decisive contributions. He produced an unbeaten 97 against the West Indies, followed by 89 in the semi-final against England and another vital 89 in the final versus New Zealand, guiding India to the title.
