ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2009
A lot of people would have looked at Twenty20 as a step too far when it was brought into the country cricket. However, it has brought a modern edge to the game which has proved to be extremely popular. Twenty20 to an extent revitalized the country cricket circuit, and it is now proving to bring the same to the international scene. In terms of the excitement, we as players are the same as the fans.
It is great for us to be involved in, as it is for the fans to watching the game. Playing in a shortened and exciting format, in front of bigger crowds, is great for players. It is also great to bring in a new brand of fan to the game, and appeal to a younger audience. The success of the IPL shows that, and all professionals want to play in the IPL. Twenty20 really is great fun to play in. Chris Gayle is the best Twenty20 batsman and Muttiah Muralitharan is the best bowler in Twenty20.
In the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, there were a few things that weren't right for us. We were still an inexperienced Twenty20 side, and looking back on the tournament and the quality of players on show, we simply weren't quite good enough.
This year, Pakistan had the real chance of winning the title of ICC Twenty20 World Cup. Pakistan crushed Sri Lanka by eight wickets. Shahid Afridi, who emerged as their trump card, guided his team home in the 19th over with an unbeaten 54, and it was left to Younis Khan to raise the trophy in what he later announced would be his final Twenty20 international, in front of a sea of delirious Pakistan supporters. Fans in Islamabad celebrate their cricket team's victory in the final of Twenty20 World Cup against Sri Lanka.
