Match officials

On 8 January 2026, the ICC released the list of match referees and umpires for the tournament. ^[9]

Squads

Each team selected a squad of fifteen players for the tournament, excluding reserves, with Ireland being the first team to name their squad on 1 December 2025. ^[10]

Format

16 teams are divided into four groups. The top three teams from each group advance to the Super Six stage. The fourth placed teams in Group A and D face each other, while the fourth-placed teams in Group B and C face each other in the placement stage.

In the super-six stage, the top three teams from Group A and D are combined in one group, with the top three teams from Group B and C combined in another group. Each team carries forward the number of points, wins, and net run rate they have earned against other Super 6 qualifying teams and will then play two matches in the Super 6 stage against the opponent from the corresponding group that finished in a different group stage position (i.e. the A1 team plays only D2 and D3 in the Super 6). Similarly, A2 plays only D1 and D3, and so forth. So, all team will be evaluated in Super six with results from 4 matches played.

The top two teams from each group in the super-six stage will qualify for the semi-finals.

Venues

In November 2025, the ICC unveiled the list of venues for the tournament, with Zimbabwe set to host 25 matches, including both semi-finals and the final, while Namibia set to host the remaining 16 fixtures. ^[11]
