T20 World Cup 2026: Played the World Cup against Pakistan, now this player will play for the USA

T20 World Cup 2026: Pakistan and USA will play their second match in the T20 World Cup 2026. This match will be against each other. However, before that match, a player who has previously played a World Cup for Pakistan has been added to the USA team. We are talking about Ehsan Adil, who has been included in the team as a replacement for Jasdeep Singh. It is highly expected that Ehsan Adil will also be part of the USA's playing eleven against Pakistan.

Played in the 2015 ODI World Cup for Pakistan

Ehsan Adil has represented Pakistan in both red-ball and white-ball cricket. He has also played in the World Cup for Pakistan. He was part of Pakistan's team in the 2015 ODI World Cup. Pakistan played that ODI World Cup under the captaincy of Misbah-ul-Haq, where Ehsan Adil took two wickets in two matches.

Will play against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026

Now, after 11 years, Ehsan Adil will be playing against Pakistan, not with the team. The USA added him to the squad just before the match against Pakistan, replacing Indian-origin player Jasdeep Singh. Jasdeep Singh has been ruled out of the 2026 T20 World Cup due to a right shoulder injury. He suffered this injury in a warm-up match against New Zealand. Ehsan Adil was previously part of the team's traveling reserve, but has now been included in the main squad.

Ehsan Adil could play against Pakistan

Ehsan Adil, a right-arm fast bowler, has played three Tests and six ODIs for Pakistan, taking a total of nine wickets. He took five wickets in Tests and four in ODIs. He has yet to make his international debut for the USA. It is believed that he will get this opportunity against Pakistan.
