There will be 20 teams participating in the T20WC 2024 divided into the two hosts, the top eight teams from the 2022 edition, the next two teams in the ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings, and eight teams determined by regional qualifiers. The United States will participate for the first time as a host. Canada and Uganda qualify for the men’s T20 World Cup for the first time. 

Blackcaps are the first team to reveal their 15 players plus a reserve player, in total 16 players for the T20 World Cup 2024 tournament.
