Shikhar Dhawan to Join Pakistan Stars for T20 Tournament

Former Indian cricket star Shikhar Dhawan is set to compete for the Asia Warriors at the inaugural World T20 Continent Cup, scheduled for December 2026 in Hong Kong.

This competition is structured to spotlight renowned international cricketers through a T20 format. Over the course of the event, more than 60 retired professional players will participate across four continental teams: Asia Warriors, Africa Lions, Europe Champions, and North America Eagles. Organizers have confirmed that the schedule will consist of nine matches in total, culminating in a championship final.

Dhawan brings extensive experience to the squad, having played a pivotal role in India’s limited-overs successes, including the 2013 Champions Trophy and the 2015 World Cup victory. He will be joined by Tanvir, who was a key member of Pakistan’s 2009 T20 World Cup winning team and has maintained a long career across various global franchise leagues.

The Asia Warriors have unveiled a 24-man roster for the competition, which balances established international icons with other notable competitors. Alongside the high-profile additions of Dhawan, Iftikhar, and Tanvir, the squad includes seasoned Bangladeshi veterans Mahmudullah Riyadh and Rubel Hossain, as well as Indian spin bowler Rahul Sharma. Dhawan, known for his aggressive batting at the top of the order, will be among the headline names in the Asia Warriors squad.

While the full match schedule for the tournament has not yet been released, event organizers indicate that further updates will be provided closer to the December start date. This gathering of talent aims to provide a unique spectacle in Hong Kong, bringing together players from disparate cricketing nations under the banner of the Asia Warriors.
