England, Australia renew cricket rivalry in T20 series - Cricket News - Sportstar
The HinduDenied a Twenty20 World Cup this year because of the coronavirus outbreak, cricket fans might have the next best thing in the upcoming days. ‘Preview for the final’ “I hope it’s a preview for the final,” Australia captain Aaron Finch said on Thursday, referring to the next T20 World Cup that will now take place in India in October-November 2021. You could play in a street and it would still be there.’ Australia is the latest nation to fly to England and stay in what is termed a “bio-secure bubble,” essentially meaning its players have done no more than practice and spend time in a hotel since they arrived 11 days ago. “I know not just me but everyone is just absolutely pumped to be playing international cricket again.” Having won both of its Test series — against the West Indies and Pakistan — England’s focus is totally on the white ball now. Tried and tested lineup Australia has a tried-and-tested T20 lineup that has lifted the team atop the ICC rankings in the format, so batsman Marnus Labuschagne will likely need to wait for his debut despite impressing in both the Test and ODI teams over the past year and hitting a century in a warmup game this week.
