Jammu – November 13, 2026: The Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) Senior Selection Committee has formally unveiled its 18-member squad for the upcoming prestigious Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament, handing the captaincy reins to prolific top-order batsman Shubham Khajuria.
Khajuria, who has been in sensational domestic form across multiple formats and boasts vast experience in national domestic tournaments, will lead a dynamic squad characterized by fierce pace bowling resources and explosive middle-order stroke-makers. The selection follows intensive conditioning camps and inter-regional trial fixtures conducted at the JKCA Hostel Ground in Jammu.
The squad features proven match-winners alongside promising young emerging talents who made waves in recent state tournaments. The pace battery, spearheaded by high-speed seamers capable of hitting 145+ kmph, is expected to be a formidable asset during the powerplay and death overs of the elite white-ball competition.
JKCA administrators and coaching staff expressed high confidence in Khajuria’s tactical leadership, asserting that Jammu and Kashmir’s white-ball squad possesses the balance, fielding agility, and batting depth to mount a strong title challenge against top domestic state units.
