IPL performance will have greater significance ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup: Tom Moody

Chennai: Veteran coach Tom Moody on Thursday said the players’ performance in highly-competitive leagues like IPL and ILT20 will have an added heft this time because of the impact it can have on the team selection ahead of the T20 World Cup. “The IPL, along with any other T20 tournament, like the ILT20, is important for any player to be performing because every home team is looking at the performances of all their players in these tournaments because of the high-quality cricket in these,” Moody said during a virtual media interaction facilitated by the Desert Vipers team of the ILT20. ‘Protect Test cricket’ As the discussion veered towards the future of Test cricket in a world of mushrooming T20 leagues, Moody said the International Cricket Council should work with various boards to save the traditional format of the game. The Test cricket’s existential battle reminded Moody of the time when World Series Cricket of Kerry Packer shook the foundation of the sport in the 70s.
