Why T20 World Cup 2026 venue rotation across India and Sri Lanka will reshape your fantasy team sheet — and what to track from now until the first ball

For the fantasy readers who actually decide teams, the shape of the event matters more than the marketing: a co-hosted India and Sri Lanka structure changes travel, dew, surface variety, and squad exposure.
