ICC names Fatima Sana in Women’s T20 World Cup team of the tournament

Pakistan captain Fatima Sana had an exceptional all-round season as the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday revealed the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Team of the Tournament, which consisted of 12 players.

Eight countries are represented on the team, with Australia having the most with four players representing world champions.

There were 2 players from the runner up England, 1 player from Pakistan, 1 player from India, 1 player each from South Africa, Ireland and Sri Lanka.

Darcey Carter of Scotland took the place of the 12th player.

The Australian four included the likes of Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Ashgardner and captain Sophie Molineux as they went on to claim a record seventh Women’s T20 World Cup title.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Nat Sciver-Brunt represented England.

Pakistan’s Fatima Sana, India’s Sree Charani, South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp, Ireland’s Orla Prendergast and Sri Lanka’s Nilakshika Silva were among the others.

For Pakistan it was probably the most positive aspect of an overall poor run.

The Green Shirts had a hard time in the 12-team tournament and won only one game of the group stage against the Netherlands, but their leader was always outstanding with either the bat or the ball in their hands.

The all-rounder picked up 11 wickets in 5 matches with an excellent economy rate of 11.27 runs and scored 85 runs, making her one of the best all-rounders for Pakistan.

Described as the “beating heart” of Pakistan’s team, the ICC noted her influence at crucial moments.

She also gave the Netherlands a run for its money by taking 3 wickets and facilitating Pakistan’s 37-run win.

England batsman Danni Wyatt-Hodge was the highest run scorer of the tournament with 302 runs as Sree Charani was the top wicket taker for India with 14 wickets.

Australia’s Beth Mooney was declared Player of the Tournament after making both her match-winning debuts in the knockout games and scoring 238 runs.
