Though banton

T20 World Cup: Tom Banton was brought into the England T20 side soon after Harry Brook took over as captain. He was one of the two close friends that the captain had shown faith in -- Liam Dawson being the other.

One year later, Banton has become an integral part of the England T20 set-up and is now representing his country against India in the semifinals of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. which he described as the "biggest game he has been part of in his career so far".

Banton has had modest returns in the T20 World Cup, with an unbeaten 63 against Scotland being his highest score so far. He also had scores of 30 against Italy and 33 against New Zealand in the Super 8 stage. Though he had scored a fifty against Sri Lanka in the series preceding the World Cup, Banton got out early against Test-playing teams Pakistan (2), Sri Lanka (6), and the West Indies (2).
