On October 16, the T20 World Cup 2022’s group stages will get underway, and on October 22, the Super 12 round will take place.
The much awaited T20 World Cup in 2022 is getting close. For the T20 extravaganza in Australia, all of the contending teams have confirmed their strongest starting lineups. Every player wants to represent his country on the biggest stage possible, but only a small number of players really succeed in doing so due to many factors and situations. It will be one of the important world cup for India and across teams.
The players who will not get chance in single game:
Hasan Mahmud (Bangladesh)
One of the intriguing prospects in Bangladesh’s white-ball league has been Hasan Mahmud. The 22-year-old’s ability to reach speeds of above 140 kmph drew everyone’s attention. He has participated in 25 T20 games in all, taking 24 wickets at an 8.05.
The teenager was chosen by Bangladesh for their World Cup team in order to diversify their bowling attack. Mahmud has received few opportunities despite playing effectively in his few appearances. In just three short-format matches for Bangladesh, he has three wickets at an excellent economy of 6.58.
Mohammad Saleem Safi (Afganistan)
On Afghanistan’s premier circuit, Mohammad Saleem has always performed admirably. With 12 games under his belt, he has a 41 wicket average. In the shortest format, the 20-year-old showed his prowess at the Shpageeza Cricket League 2022.
During his nine games for the Boost Defenders in the Afghanistan T20 league, Saleem took 11 wickets at an economy rate of 6.63, helping his team advance to the Final. Due to his outstanding performances, he was swiftly chosen for the T20 World Cup team.
Usman Qadir (Pakistan)
The Pakistani spin trio for the T20 World Cup includes Usman Qadir. He has participated in 23 games for the Men in Green in the shortest format and has amassed 29 wickets at an 8.13 economy rate. His most recent performances, nevertheless, have not been very strong.
He grabbed four wickets in four games of the T20I series against England, although he also allowed 10.41 runs per game to be scored. In most of the games, Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan have begun for Babar Azam and company instead of Qadir, who hasn’t been Pakistan’s primary man in the spin department.
Reeza Hendricks (South Africa)
For South Africa in the shortest format, Reeza Hendricks has excelled. With the bat, he has been a bank for the Proteas, scoring 1372 runs at a strike rate of 125.41 in 48 games. The star batter has also been hitting well lately.
Hendricks’ incredible strike rate of 156.52 allowed him to hit 180 runs in three games during the T20I series against England. He then continued to play well in Ireland, scoring 116 runs at a strike rate of 124.73. The Kimberley native was chosen for the World Cup, although it is unlikely that he will play in any matches in Australia due to the team’s makeup.
The 33-year-old, who will compete for the opening spot against Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma, is a designated opener. De Kock, one of the best batsmen against white balls, will undoubtedly get things going for the Proteas. On the other side, Bavuma is the team’s captain and will participate in every match. This suggests that Hendricks might sit out the entire competition.
Michael Bracewell (New Zealand)
With his prowess with the bat and bowl, Michael Bracewell has lit up the international scene. In eight games for New Zealand in the shortest format, he has scored 89 runs with an absurd strike rate of 206.97. Additionally, he has nine wickets at a 5.59 economy.
The legendary all-rounder has also played admirably in one-day internationals, amassing 264 runs in 12 matches with a strike rate of 110.92 and taking 10 wickets for his team. Bracewell was able to join the Blackcaps’ T20 World Cup squad because to his outstanding performances. Although his inclusion gives the club more depth, it might be challenging for him to play given the team’s composition.
David Willey (England)
In the game’s shortest format, England has frequently used David Willey. He has played in 41 T20 Internationals and taken 50 wickets with an 8.17 economy. The 32-year-old has also contributed significantly with the bat, tallying 226 runs at a strike rate of 132.16.
The Northampton-born player was a member of England’s World Cup squad the previous year, and the team management has confidence in him again this year. Willey’s chances of performing at the major tournament are, however, quite slim given the return of players like Chris Woakes and Mark Wood.
Josh Inglis (Australia)
Josh Inglis has a track record of success in the T20 league. He has played in 81 T20 games, scoring 2005 runs at an astounding strike rate of 147.86. Since the T20 World Cup last year, the swashbuckling batsman, who can destroy any bowling attack, has been a member of Australia’s T20 squad.
Inglis has had nine chances to represent his country in T20Is and has scored 220 runs with a strike rate of 141.02 in those opportunities. The wicketkeeper-batter has kept his berth for the upcoming worldwide cup thanks to the impressive performances.
Australia’s top wicketkeeper, Matthew Wade, has been playing the finisher’s role incredibly effectively. The 27-year-old may not get the chance to make his World Cup debut with him on the bench.
Deepak Hooda (India)
This year, Deepak Hooda has been absolutely fantastic in the T20 league. He scored 451 runs for the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2022 at a strike rate of 136.67. The Rohtak native also lit up the international stage with his batting performances. He has played for India in 12 T20I matches and has 293 runs at a strike rate of 155.85.
Due to the outstanding performances, Hooda was chosen for the major event. The batting all-rounder is unlikely to be given a chance in India’s stellar starting XI, though. Although he has scored on the majority of his T20I runs at the top of the order, the 27-year-old may not have a chance there with players like KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli in the mix.
