Singh has been ruled out due to a right shoulder injury, which he sustained during a warm-up match against New Zealand on February 5. This injury prompted the need for a replacement, and Adil was selected for this role.

Background on Ehsan Adil

  • Ehsan Adil has played three Test matches and six One Day Internationals (ODIs) for Pakistan.
  • Although he has an extensive international background, he has not yet played for the USA team.

Approval Process for Player Replacement

The replacement of players in the squad requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee (ETC). This committee oversees player changes to ensure compliance with ICC regulations.

Event Technical Committee Members

The committee consists of experienced representatives, including:

  • Wasim Khan – ICC General Manager – Cricket (ICC Representative)
  • Gaurav Saxena (IBC Representative)
  • Hemang Amin (Host Representative)
  • Shaun Pollock (Independent Representative)

With Adil joining the USA team, the squad looks to strengthen its lineup ahead of the tournament, eager to make an impact in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
