On a blustery but thankfully dry Sunday, June 7, the 12 captains of teams in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2026 assembled on Waterloo Bridge, London. The event was termed a carnival and was followed by a press conference in a less windswept venue nearby. There, for the purpose of two consecutive question-and-answer sessions, the captains were divided into the groups in which they will play their round-robin matches. The top two teams in each group will progress to the semi-finals. A tournament of 12 teams is the most that the T20 World Cup has comprised.
