The Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 is set to commence on Friday, June 12, with hosts England taking on Sri Lanka at Edgbaston, Birmingham. This will mark the beginning of what promises to be one of the most competitive editions of the global extravaganza.
While there are plenty of talented youngsters set to make their maiden Women’s T20 World Cup appearances this year, some experienced campaigners might be playing the marquee event for the last time.
Let’s take a look at some players who could be playing their final Women’s T20 World Cup this year:
5 players who could play their last Women’s T20 World Cup in 2026
5. Shabnim Ismail
In a surprising turn of events, the South African speedster, Shabnim Ismail, came out of international retirement about a month ago, hoping to win the Women’s T20 World Cup for her country. Ismail holds the record for the fastest ball bowled in women’s cricket. She is a key player for the Proteas, especially because the World Cup is being played in England, where the pitches could favour the seamers. The right-arm seamer could once again retire after the tournament.
