Canada
Another first timer, Canada will also be going to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

At the upcoming event, Canada’s captain will be the experienced Saad Bin Zafar. In addition, the team has only four players under the age of 30.

India
India really wants to break their string of almost-wins in world events. In recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup , they have been so close but failed at the last step.
India is now ready to win the title again after losing it in the first tournament in 2007. They have a strong team that is ready to go.
The team has a strong top order with players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, and Suryakumar Yadav. Rohit Sharma, who is starting his second T20 World Cup as captain, leads the team with experience.
Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson are both in great form right now. Hence, this makes it hard for Rohit and the team management to choose a wicket-keeper for the World Cup.
Players like Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Shivam Dube make the team stronger and more flexible.
Bowling has a lot of great players, like Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, and others. Moreover, making for a well-rounded team.

Pakistan
Pakistan and India have both come very close to winning an ICC title.

Pakistan’s opening order has been led by Babar and Mohammad Rizwan for years. Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, and Iftikhar Ahmed will help them.
On top of that, Pakistan has a lot of spin bowlers as well, including Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, and Abrar Ahmed.
Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Amir, and Abbas Afridi make up an impressive pace group for the green team, which is led by Shaheen Afridi.
