Two years of waiting have now come to an end, and the T20 World Cup 2026 is just one sleep away. As the teams are all tuned up for delivering their absolute best, fans are also eagerly waiting for some gripping contests on the big stage.
While the on-field action fuels the thrill, it’s the unmissable commentary that adds the hidden spice to every nerve-wracking moment. Before the tournament goes live on the stage, ICC announced a star-studded commentary panel, featuring some of the greats of the game.
Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton return to the commentary box
The T20 thrills are coming back even grander way as the 10th edition of the T20 World Cup is just one day away. With fans across the globe gearing up for surreal moments, the ICC has unveiled a star-studded commentary panel, with the biggest names in the game ready to elevate the excitement for every cricket fan.
Before the tournament raised its curtain, the cricket world witnessed drama as Bangladesh walked out of the tournament and Pakistan boycotted their group stage clash against India. Those moves divided the world as former England player Nasser Hussain made an explosive comment on that.
Speaking to a podcast, Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain slammed the ICC, as fans were worried about their chances to feature in the T20 World Cup 2026 commentary panel. But after ICC released the list, the English greats retained their place after such an explosive remark.
Not just them, some season commentators like Ravi Shastri, Ian Bell, and Ian Bishop have also been named in the list. Along with unreal T20 action, fans are now set to enjoy a feast for their ears as well.

Along with the season commentators, some other big names are all set to feature in the commentary panel. South Africa’s WTC-winning captain, Temba Bavuma, will take on a new role, swapping his cricket bat for the mic after being named in the line-up.
Adding to this, veteran Sri Lankan star Angelo Matthews is all set to feature on the commentary panel. ICC has also brought some Pakistani brilliance into the commentary panel, as former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram has also been added to the list.
To make the experience even more dramatic, ICC has named some of the former T20 World Cup-winning players to the list. Stars like Dinesh Karthik, Kumar Sangakkara, Robin Uthappa, and Carlos Brathwaite are all set to grace the commentary box.
