New Zealand have long made a virtue of taking each challenge as it comes and while it might not make for much excitement at press conference time, it has not harmed their performances at major tournaments.
The anti-social start times of some of the matches at the T20 World Cup are likely to test even the most diehard supporters in the UAE.
A young Afghan side with an average age of just 25 have vowed to give audiences back home rare cause for jubilation at the T20 World Cup after a breakthrough performance at the 50-over showpiece. Kabul's skies were raked with fireworks when Afghanistan celebrated their stunning eight-wicket victory against Pakistan in the ODI World Cup in October. They finished sixth, ahead of defending champions England -- who they also beat -- stoking hopes for the T20 tournament in the United States and West Indies starting on Saturday.
On a sunny morning at the main cricket oval in Kampala, members of the Ugandan national men's team are being put through their paces by their new head coach. The Cricket Cranes -- clad in their vivid red kit -- are training hard for their first ever T20 World Cup, a "dream come true" in a nation where cricket is overshadowed by football as the most popular sport. But they have a tough road ahead in the tournament, which is being jointly hosted by the United States and West Indies and runs from June 1 to June 29.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz said his mother is still recovering in the hospital. Gurbaz played a 23-run knock from 14 balls at a strike rate of 164.29 during KKR's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Qualifier 1 match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Gurbaz said he came back from Afghanistan since KKR needed him as Philip Salt's replacement in the playing eleven. The 22-year-old added his mother is happy for his performance in the tournament.
India and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) middle-order Rinku Singh said that his dream is to win a big trophy for his team at senior-level cricket and lift it with his own hands. Rinku, who is travelling as a reserve with the Indian squad for the ICC T20 World Cup starting from June 1 onwards, is representing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). After a breakthrough season last year, scoring 474 runs at an average of 59.25 and a strike rate of 149.52 with four fifties, Rinku's 2024 season has been underwhelming. With just 168 runs in 11 innings at an average of 18.66 and a best score of 26, Rinku's IPL 2024 has been a disappointment and can be due to either lack of form or lack of opportunities down the order due to good performances put up by the top order.
Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) on Tuesday announced the appointment of West Indies great Dwayne Bravo as the Bowling Consultant of the national team for the T20 World Cup 2024, which will kick off on June 1 in the USA and the West Indies. Bravo is set to join the team during the preparation camp ahead of the marquee event in the Caribbean. Bravo has taken 625 wickets in T20 cricket, making him the current leader in the format. He is also one of the most successful fast-bowling all-rounders in T20 cricket, having amassed around 7000 runs in the format.
