“No Way…”: Matthew Hayden On Why This Star Should Not Open For India In T20Is | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Matthew Hayden© TwitterThe countdown for the 2022 T20 World Cup has begun. All the teams have named their respective squads and the final stage of preparation has already begun.

[ad_1] Ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup in October-November, Rohit Sharma-led Team India will square off against Australia in a three-match T20I series, beginning Tuesday in Mohali. It would be interesting to see whether the hosts persist with the experimentation that was on display in the Asia Cup, where the team failed to make it to the final.
