Justin Mosca

Justin Mosca is a key left-handed opening batter who has been instrumental in Italy's historic qualification for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Born on November 15, 1994, the 31-year-old is part of a close-knit squad that remarkably features two sets of brothers, as he competes alongside his brother Anthony. Since making his international debut in 2022, Mosca has established himself as a reliable and aggressive presence at the top of the order. His technical proficiency and consistency were on full display during the 2025 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, where he played a pivotal role in helping the 'Azzurri' secure their maiden World Cup appearance.

Statistically, Mosca is one of Italy's most impactful performers in the T20I format, amassing 364 runs in 17 appearances at a brisk strike rate of 148.57. His ability to provide explosive starts is highlighted by several match-winning innings, including a career-best 72 against Romania and a crucial 66 off just 37 balls against Guernsey in the regional qualifiers. Beyond his international duties, he has gained valuable experience playing in various domestic setups, including stints in the Kent Premier League. As Italy prepares for a challenging Group C featuring England and the West Indies, Mosca’s experience and ability to set the tempo during the powerplay will be vital for his team's ambitions.
