2016 ICC World Twenty20 squads list

With the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 beginning this month, the 16 competing nations have finalised their squads for the frenetic tournament.

The tournament is split into three stages: Group Round, Super 10 Round and the Knockout Stage.

Eight nations: Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Scotland, Ireland, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Afghanistan and Oman will compete in the Group Round for the right to qualify for the Super 10 Round.

The top two teams will advance, helping to form two groups of five.

Each team plays each group member once, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the Knockout Stage, where two semi-finals and a final, to be played on April 3 in Kolkata, will determine a winner.
