Chasing ‘Cricket Nirvana’ - Henriques Sets Sights On Guiding Portugal To T20 WC
T20 World Cup: Former Australia all-rounder Moises Henriques has described helping his birth nation Portugal qualify for their maiden men’s T20 World Cup as the ultimate ‘nirvana’ at the twilight of his playing career.
Henriques, 39, represented Australia in four Tests, 16 ODIs, and 24 T20Is between 2009 and 2021. After retiring from Australian cricket, he switched allegiances to Portugal. He will captain the side at a European sub-regional qualifying tournament starting in Finland on Friday.
Portugal, ranked 37th globally, are placed in Group B alongside the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, and Israel. Inspired by Italy’s recent qualification for their debut T20 World Cup, Henriques believes Portugal can follow a similar pathway.
