The Twenty20 showpiece starts on June 1
London – England World Cup winner Liam Plunkett says cricket superstars such as Virat Kohli and Babar Azam can help bolster the game in the United States when it hosts the T20 World Cup.
That match could feature a dramatic face-off between two of the world's best batsmen in India's Kohli and Pakistan's Azam. "I said to someone, 'If you had Babar Azam and Virat Kohli stood next to LeBron James, the queues for the cricketers would be just as long or not longer'. They are so massive around the world.
"It was successful," said Plunkett, speaking with fewer than 100 days to go until the start of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. "But they've got some of the best players in the world. If they catch fire they can change games. Jos struggled last time, but if Jos turns up he can be player of the World Cup."
"England can always be better at managing people towards the back end of their career. But every time I played for England, whether it was at the start or at the end, I loved that experience."
