The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 is just a few days away. With less than 30 days left for the biggest T20I event of the year, all 16 teams have announced their squads for the tournament. There are a few players like Rohit Sharma and Shakib Al Hasan who have played in all the T20 World Cups and will play in the 2022 tournament as well.

Interestingly, both Rohit and Shakib are the captains of their countries for the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup. However, the following four players who played in every edition of the T20 World Cup from 2007 to 2021 will miss the 2022 T20 World Cup.

  1. Chris Gayle

It has not yet been officially announced whether Chris Gayle has retired from international cricket or not. However, the Jamaican star has not been selected in the West Indies squad for the T20I series in Australia. He was part of the team last year and also took the wicket of Mitchell Marsh in their match against Australia.

  1. Mahmudullah

Former Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah led the country in the T20 edition held before this World Cup. However, his name was not included in the squad announced by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. The team will miss his experience in the batting department.

Sri Lanka Set for White-Ball Leadership Change as Kusal Mendis Emerges Favourite

Published

By

Sri Lanka Cricket is reportedly preparing for a major leadership overhaul in the national white-ball teams, with Kusal Mendis tipped to become captain of both the ODI and T20I sides ahead of the upcoming West Indies tour.

According to a report by The Sunday Times, the experienced wicketkeeper-batter is expected to replace Charith Asalanka as ODI captain and take over the T20I leadership from Dasun Shanaka.

The reported decision comes as Sri Lanka seeks to strengthen its limited-overs structure and build momentum ahead of a packed international schedule. Cricket officials are believed to view Mendis as a dependable senior figure capable of guiding a relatively young squad through the next phase of development.

Having represented Sri Lanka for several years across all three formats, Mendis has established himself as one of the team’s key performers in white-ball cricket. His experience and consistency are expected to play a crucial role if the appointment is confirmed.

Meanwhile, the report stated that Dhananjaya de Silva will continue to lead the Test side, ensuring stability in the longer format.

Sri Lanka Cricket has yet to make an official announcement regarding the captaincy changes.

Angelo Mathews sparks debate over England’s proposed Test tour reductions

Published

on

By

Former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews has strongly criticised reports that England may reduce future Test tours of Sri Lanka to a single match, warning that such a move risks undermining the fairness and integrity of the World Test Championship structure.

According to reports, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is reviewing its Future Tours Programme, with discussions suggesting that overseas red-ball series against nations such as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh could be trimmed to just one Test, alongside white-ball fixtures. The shift is being linked to scheduling pressures and a push to prioritise longer home series against top-tier opposition.

However, Mathews has pushed back firmly against the idea, arguing that Test cricket must not be reshaped around commercial convenience or unequal participation between nations.
“We should not play one off test with anyone! If any country doesn’t want to play more than one so be it!” Mathews said, expressing clear frustration at the proposal.

He further stressed that all Test nations must be treated equally within the format, warning against creating an imbalance in match opportunities across the championship cycle.
“There’s nothing called bigger nations and test status is equal to all test playing nations,” he said.

Mathews also questioned the logic of restructuring series length while maintaining a unified global competition, pointing out the contradiction in workload and fairness.
“You can’t have 1 team playing 20 games and another playing 10 games in the same championship cycle!” he added.

His strongest criticism came when addressing the reasoning behind the proposed changes, which have been partly linked to revenue generation and broadcast appeal.

“Generating revenue and keeping test cricket alive is two different things and you should not mix up the two!” Mathews said, drawing a clear line between financial priorities and the preservation of the longest format.

The reported ECB discussions come amid wider debates within the International Cricket Council (ICC) over potential reforms to the World Test Championship, including proposals to expand participation and possibly allow single-Test series to contribute to standings for the first time.

The ICC is expected to review the proposals in upcoming meetings, with the future structure of Test cricket under increasing scrutiny as scheduling demands continue to grow across formats.
