Men’s T20 World Cup 2024: team-by-team guide to the tournament

The T20 Cricket World Cup begins on 2 June with 20 teams taking part in an expanded edition of the competition and many participating for the first time.

England are the reigning champions and captain Jos Buttler will be hoping his team put in a better defence of the T20 World Cup than they did the ODI Cricket World Cup when they were knocked out in the group stage.

The tournament takes place in the West Indies and the United States and will consist of a Group Stage, Super 8 Stage, Knockout Stage and Final.
