This page lists the squads picked for the 2007 ICC World Twenty20. This is the first World Twenty20 tournament which has been organized by the ICC. The championship will run from 11 September to 24 September 2007 in South Africa. 12 teams are taking part in the championship, and the teams are sorted by their groups in the preliminary group stage. The first-class team listed for each player is the domestic team he plays for in his home country and any English county he has played for in the 2007 season, which is running concurrently to the World Twenty20 tournament.
