England players to watch out for in T20 World Cup 2022
● Jos Butler – He is a man in massive form. Apart
from hitting huge sixes, he takes quick singles and rotates strikes. We can
expect a record-breaking performance from this master of T20 game.
● Ben Stokes – One all-rounder that everyone wants
to keep in a team. People call him ‘a lucky charm’, but he is a man of
precision. His performance during a warm-up match against Pakistan changed the
course of the game, sealing a win.
● Moeen Ali – The southpaw is as integral
middle-order to stabilize an innings. His role in England T20 cricket will be
discussed & celebrated for a long time.
● Liam Livingstone – He can start hitting from the
first ball: that’s the role he plays in the England team. It will be critical
in hastening innings.
● Sam Curran – He swings from ‘bowling all-rounder’
to ‘batting all-rounder’ frequently. In a warm-up match, he scored 33 off 14
balls, with 3 sixes and 2 boundaries. Fondly called as ‘Chutti Kulandhai’
(Naughty Kid) by the Chennai Super Kings IPL fans, he has grown as a prominent
all-rounder with swing and swag under his belt.
Afghanistan players to watch out for in T20 World Cup
2022
● Rashid Khan – The mystery bowler-cum-mystery
hitter has been showing his abilities in IPL year after year. He played a
crucial role in the victory of Gujarat Titans in the latest edition. He acts as
a speed-breaker for the opponent’s run rate.
● Mohammad Nabi – The skipper is in form and it is
getting contagious recently. The team is regaining its stature, with his
guidance and captaincy. In a warm-up match against Bangladesh, he scored 41 off
just 17 balls, with 5 sixes and 1 boundary.
● Mujeeb ur Rahman – He is the most-underrated
player in the Afghanistan team. Being in the shadow of Rashid Khan, the world
has missed celebrating Mujeed. However, he remains the go-to player for Nabi
during crucial overs.
● Ibrahim Zadran – The youngster has already become
a regular name in the squad with his extraordinary performances. During a
warm-up match, he scored 46 useful runs to ensure a victory for the Afghanistan
side.
