T20 is known to be a game for the youngsters. However, time and again, we have seen the veterans and the experienced names stepping up. Even at the highest stage in the T20 World Cup, some of the veterans have found success. A few teams have picked cricketers who are above 40 years of age. This is a surprise and a bold move, as well. On that note, here, in this article, we take a look at the list of players aged above 40 who will play in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Players aged above 40 in the 2024 T20 World Cup
As expected, most of the players aged above 40 are spread across the associate nations’ squads. For these nations, they would want to value the experience of some of the players who have been with the team for a long time. It is a big tournament and these players deserve to play in it. On that note, here are the four players above 40 in the upcoming T20 World Cup:
- Frank Nsubuga (Uganda) – 43 Years
- Naseem Khushi (Oman) – 41 Years
- Mohammad Nadeem (Oman) – 41 Years
- Wesley Barresi (Netherlands) – 40 Years
An interesting tournament on the cards
Meanwhile, it will be an interesting tournament for the fans. In IPL 2024, we saw that the game has changed with the players becoming very fearless. However, multiple factors were responsible for that approach in the IPL. It is not sure if the same could happen in the World Cup.
There were be more stakes at the ICC event and of course, there is no Impact Player rule. It will be interesting to see how teams would approach the format now. This could play a huge role as to which direction the format could take in the coming years. At the moment, the likes of India, Australia and England are the favourites to lift the trophy.
