CLOSE-IN: The T20 World Cup Format Needs A Radical Change (IANS Column)
The T20 World Cup:
The second League phase of the T20 World Cup 2024 has commenced. The term “Super 8” refers to the eight teams that have qualified to make it to the tournament's semifinal stage. After that, it is a shoot-out amongst the 4 of them to make it to the final.
The ICC should be credited with involving 20 national sides to participate in this tournament, with half of them being non-Test playing countries. The shorter format of the game has been a great way to spread cricket around the world. A few of the minnow sides have shown that on a given day they could be a handful for the senior established ones. The United States of America was one team that shocked the cricketing world, by not only qualifying for the Super 8 but also by showing their ability to match the best. Scotland too were very impressive and with further exposure and bilateral matches with the top sides, many of the associate teams could improve immensely.
